Task Outcome Summary


Abstract

All data for the 24um observations obtained and reduced with the DAT V***. Reduced data suffer from jail-bars in all images (not just bright targets). Aperture photometry of each target performed and a calibration factor was derived. Most stars are fine for calibration targtes. A best linear fit to the data yields CF = 1.5003e5 (DN/s/Jy) +/- 2335 (DN/s/Jy)

Analysis

The raw data was processed through the DAT version *** to produce 30 calibrated DCEs per object. These were loaded into IDP3, where aperture photometry was performed using the adopted standard apertures (see MIPS 920) and an aperture correction AC = 1.146. The average photometric DN/s and standard deviation were calculated. A conversion factor was derived by division of the total DN/s by the predicted photospheric flux density in Jy.

A best estimate for the conversion factor was produced by fitting a line to all of the data with "x" the predicted flux density and "y" the measured total DN/s from the target. The line was forced to pass through (0,0).

Final images were constructed by careful alignment of the 30 images in the stack and median combined. The images were not distortion-corrected, and no background has been removed.

Results

The median combined images can be found here.

These results are plotted in Figures 1 & 2. Figure 1 contains all of the data, while figure 2 contains only those stars with good spectral types. There is some indication of a nonlinearity for objects above 2Jy.

Conclusions

The absolute calibration of 24um does not depend on background or spectral type. Some non-linearity may be present for objects above 2Jy.
All objects appear to be free of obvious excesses above their predicted photospheres. HD172066 lies in a cluttered field so may not be a desirable targte. HD191854 lies in a very patchy, diffuse background.

There are still significant issues in the pipeline data reduction that are causing jail-bars and instrumental variations in the background.

Output and Deliverable Products

The absolute calibration factor is CF = 1.5003e5 (DN/s/Jy) +/- 2335 (DN/s/Jy)

Actions Following Analysis

The jail bar problem should be fixed. Accurate spectral types for the few stars that lack these data must be obtained. Analysis for 70um and 160um must be completed.
