Sequencer Site SIRTF IOC Activity c. 2002

CAID: MIPS-918 Title: 70 um IC - routine, Phot AOR
 
System: MIPS Principal: aalonso Deputy: dfrayer
Objective:  
To obtain IOC acceptable 70um photometry
illumination correction to be obtained on a
regular basis. This activity is a companion to the
70 um Scan ROUTINE Phot AOR. The pair of
activities will allow us to determine the relative 
efficiency and quality of illumination corrections
created using scan and photometry AORs.
 
Description:
A 3x3 square dither map (1 cycle) will be
obtained with 3 second DCEs in a region of the sky
chosen to avoid bright point sources. The offsets
are 300 arcseconds.  At each
position there will be 12 images, so a total of
108 images will be produced each time this task is
excecuted. The map will require about 21.0 minutes
of observing time.
 
Day:   45.6909722222263 Suggested Order:  
 
Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID):   MIPS-322
 
Place in Schedule:   Start of each campaign that requires illumination corrections at 70um. Telescope temperature stable and appropriate for 70um. MIPS temperature stable. CSMM operational.
 
Priority:   Critical


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: 1 arcsec  (1 sigma radial)
 
Observatory configuration: standard
 
Go/No Go criteria: CSMM, CE, and stims and detectors must be operational, instrument and telescope temperatures must be stable


Resources

Duration:   21 minutes
 
Real time downlink:   No   

Data Volume (uncompressed): 119.6 Mbits
 
List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): Use phot mode AORs
 
List Analysis tools required (downlink):   pipeline software

Outcome


Estimate of data turn around:   24 hours
 
Description: A 70um IC to be used in photometry mode.
 
Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No
 
Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No
 
Method of Confirmation:   data analysis
 
 
Success criteria: Flats/I.C.s display no noticeable source residuals, have good S/N. Flattened/I.C.d FPS and AOT validation data sets have source signal independent of position in image.
