| CAID: MIPS-355 | Title: AOT Cluster Option Validation | |
| System: MIPS | Principal: dlp | Deputy: wlatter |
| Objective: | Verify that the cluster option is implemented correctly for all MIPS AOTs. |
| Description: | Take a series of observations of sources defined in the cluster option for the MIPS Photometry/SuperRes and SED AOTs. Phot/SR and SED AOTs of minimum length at several cluster option positions and all cluster options Phot/SR: 24 um FOV only, 3 second exposures, small field, 1 cycle per cluster position SED: 3 second exposures, minimum chop, 1 cycle per cluster position This procedure uses: 1) fixed cluster - offset + center 2) fixed cluster - offset only 3) fixed cluster - position 4) moving cluster - offset 5) moving cluster - offset + center |
| Day: 61.4881944444496 | Suggested Order: O350 | ||
| Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID): MIPS-320 | |||
| Place in Schedule: After aperture door open After CTA/instrument cool down to a level where bright stars can be seen: For 24um, bakground must be less than 4.0e-10 W/cm^2/sr (< 37 K). For 70um, background must be less than 1.2e-10 W/m^2/sr (< 16 K). For 160um, bakcgound must be less than 5.3e-11 W/m^2/sr (< < 8.5 K). Data acquizition in the 24 um band only is sufficient for this test. Basic instrument commanding and functionality must have been confirmed. After initial Phot/SR and SED AOT basic testing is complete. | |||
| Priority: Necessary | |||
Conditions | |||
| Maximum telescope temperature: | 12 K | ||
| Minimum telescope temperature: | 5.5 K | ||
| Should activity be repeated if focus changes? | No Repeat if focus changes by 0 mm | ||
| Maximum absolute pointing uncertainty: | 3 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Maximum precision offset uncertainty: | 0.5 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Observatory configuration: | standard | ||
| Go/No Go criteria: | MIPS operational, 24 um background tolerable, PCS performance near optimal for offset. | ||
Duration: 50 minutes
| | Real time downlink:
No | | |||
| Data Volume (uncompressed): 40 Mbits | |||
| List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): Standard pipeline and data analysis tools. MIPS Phot/SR ans SED skeleton AOT required | |||
| List Analysis tools required (downlink): MIPS interactive pipeline; image analysis tools | |||
| Estimate of data turn around: 10 hours | |||
| Description: Several positions in the Phot/SR and SED AOTs will be executed. Standard data products will result. | |||
| Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No | |||
| Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No | |||
| Method of Confirmation: Data analysis to validate sizes of PCS offsets between cluster positions. | |||
| Success criteria: All data received. Stars visible in all images. All observations execute as expected. PCS performance validated. | |||
| Contingency plan: Revisit cluster option design. | |||
