Task Outcome Summary

Abstract

We have constructed the 70micron (wide field) ICs obtained in PHOTOMETRY mode and SCAN modes. This report is the same for MIPS-918 (70micron PHOT IC) and MIPS-915 (70micron SCAN IC) as both modes are analyzed together. The standard deviations of the 70micron ICs over the entire array are approximately 22% (for both SCAN and PHOTOMETRY mode), but this statistics includes the illumination pattern of the 70micron array. If we remove the illumination pattern by ratioing two SCAN ICs, those of zodi_12a and zodi_12b that are nearby regions of the sky, we find that the rms is approximately 6%.

Analysis

In PHOTOMETRY mode we obtained a 9 point dither map (1 cycle) at 70microns with 3 second DCEs of a region of the sky (zodi_28a) chosen to avoid bright point sources. The offsets between positions are 300 arcseconds. At each position of the dither pattern there are 16 images (4 of which are stim flashes), so a total of 108 sky images were obtained to construct the 70micron Illumination Correction (IC). In SCAN mode we have observed 2 degrees (1 leg) in fast mode for three different regions of the sky (zodi_12a, zodi_12b, zodi_28a). Since these tasks are repeated a number of times during IOC, we will observe different regions of the sky each time. The tasks will check for possible variations of quality of IC or saturation. This task will also be useful for screening regions of the sky to obtain ICs in SIRTF routine operations.

We used mips_sloper with sensitive cosmic ray detection (-q option) turning off the electronic non-linearity correction, mips_caler (using the 70micron dark me_70_darka_CamG_10oct2003.fits) and mips_enhancer with the following options:

mips_enhancer -OD -i listof70flats_phot.lst -SC 3 -C -dn -NI -FD -o ic70_phot_campaignI -r 1

Note that we rejected the first DCE after the stim flash (-r 1 option) and normalized the input images (-NI option).

The regions of the sky observed were:

zodi_12a (RA=7:3:28.1676 and Dec=27:40:3.6574, J2000) with a predicted brightness at 70microns of 14.6MJy/sr,
zodi_12b (RA=7:37:31.5146 and Dec=27:35:20.6376, J2000) with a predicted brightness at 70microns of 14.0MJy/sr, and
zodi_28a[315] (RA=21: 5: 7.4259 and Dec= -21:54: 4.3864, J2000) with a predicted brightness at 70microns of 14.0MJy/sr.


Results

The PHOTOMETRY and SCAN mode 70micron ICs constructed using 108DCEs and 460DCEs respectively observed in Campaign I are shown in Figure1. Statistics on the images provides the following:

PHOT (108DCEs) zodi_28a: mean= 0.99559; median= 0.97453; sdtdev= 0.23729; skew=-0.16395
SCAN three reg (480DCEs): mean= 0.98979; median= 0.96911; sdtdev= 0.22919; skew= 0.21020
SCAN zodi12a (160DCEs): mean= 0.99196; median= 0.96456; sdtdev= 0.22789; skew= 0.19776
SCAN zodi12b (160DCEs): mean= 0.99212; median= 0.96713; sdtdev= 0.22940; skew= 0.20689
SCAN zodi28a (160DCEs): mean= 0.97618; median= 0.95515; sdtdev= 0.23807; skew= 0.25012

The histograms are shown in Figure2.

A better way to assess the quality of the observed ICs is to remove the illumination pattern of the 70micron array. To do so, we ratioed different 70micron IC. The statistics on the images provides the following:

ratio ICs PHOT(108DCEs)/SCAN(480DCEs): mean= 0.99291; median= 0.99687; sdtdev= 0.09522; skew=-0.34654;
ratio ICs PHOT(108DCEs)/PHOT(160DCEs): mean= 0.99395; median= 0.99388; sdtdev= 0.10441; skew=-0.16416;
ratio ICs SCAN zodi12a/zodi12b: mean= 0.99503; median= 0.99234; sdtdev= 0.06289; skew=-0.14379;
ratio ICs SCAN zodi12a/zodi28a: mean= 0.99770; median= 0.99788; sdtdev= 0.08530; skew=-0.10585;
ratio ICs SCAN zodi12b/zodi28a: mean= 1.0048; median= 1.00511; sdtdev= 0.08022; skew=-0.29291;

Some examaples of the ratios of 70micron are shown in Figure3. The histograms of all the ratios of 70micron ICs are shown in Figure4. The statistics on the best case (that is, zodi_12a to zodi_12b which are nearby regions of the sky) provides 6%rms over the array.

Conclusions

We have constructed 70micron ICs (wide field) obtained in PHOTOMETRY and SCAN modes using three regions of the sky (zodi_12a, zodi_12b, zodi_28a). The standard deviations of the 70micron ICs over the entire array are approximately 22%, but this statistics includes the illumination pattern of the 70micron array. If we remove the illumination pattern by ratioing two SCAN ICs, those of zodi_12a and zodi_12b that are nearby regions of the sky, we find that the rms is approximately 6%.
