Task Outcome Summary

Abstract

The activity determines the slit illumination by observing several sky positions in a region of high 70 µm background. The SED-mode AOT was be executed with 10 sec integration times at at several telescope positions containing no bright point sources. A median of these observations was constructed to average out spatial structure in the background. Each SED AOT provided 4 sky positions. The telescope can be moved to 4 positions using the SED mapping mode. In this case, the moves were made in the cross-dispersion direction by an amount equal to the length of the slit (about 4.5 arcmin; this is the maximum offset allowed in the SED mapping-mode AOT).

Analysis

Raw data file: MIPS.2.0007177216.0000.0000.01.tran_ext.fits = MIPS299

Reduction:

mips_sloper -l -q MIPS299 (the more detailed CR removal flag proved useful in lessening the overall noise of the resulting illumination correction (IC))

mips_caler -C ./CamH -i MIPS299.red.fits (mips_caler calibration files from Campaign H were used)

The data were "x-flipped" using flip_x.pro.

mips_enhancer -f MIPS299.xflipcal.fits -C

The data were also reduced within IRAF as a consistency check.

Results

A normalized SED IC was created with the proper orientation (consistent with other 70µm data) and is shown below. The patch of sky chosen for these observations was zodi_18a.

Conclusions

An SED IC can be constructed with the AOR used in this task. The difference in the noise levels between sides A and B of the array is easily visible. Clearly, a combination of many such observations will be useful to provide a more accurate illumination correction.
