Objective

Validate the MIPS Photometry AOT (70um) as ready for beginning of science observations.

Description

Execute MIPS Phot/SR AOT for a sensible range of selectable parameters. Can be the same as: Select final operational parameters Tune IPP file as needed Several AORs will be constructed that will have : 1) 1 cycle small field/default scale for 3s, 10s 2) 1 cycle small field/fine scale for 3s, 10s 3) 1 cycle large field/default scale for 3s, 10s 4) 1 cycle large field/fine scale for 3s, 10s 5) do 1 - 4 with 3 cycles (3 s only) 6) raster map for 1 3x3 3 s only 7) do 1 for 20 cycles (10s only)

    Task Dependencies

    Calibration Dependencies

    Standard Pipeline calibration is needed to perform a detailed comparison. MIPS Standard Photometry calibration: Electronic Linearity Correction, Dark Current image and Illumination correction, and perhaps image distorsion (SSC Pipeline).

    Output and Deliverable Products

  • simple mosaic of stellar images.
  • comparison of pipeline and DAT results.

    Data Analysis

    The data should ready for scientific validation and for MIPS 70um photometry mode to be used by the astronomical community. A mosaic of the stellar images will be generated. This image will be examined visually for any obvious problems, such as poor matching of background levels between DCEs, missing data, asteroids in the field, etc. The mosaic may need to be regenerated if inappropriate data were used in the initial mosaic generation. Steps similar to those of MIPS-992 and MIPS-332, in terms of calibration, should be applied for all the observed modes and one should a get a self-consistent answers, except perhaps for the slightly different error images.

    Failure Modes and Responses

    Photometry is one of the two main observing modes for MIPS. If this mode is not working properly, implement scan mapping observations instead.
