Task Outcome Summary


Abstract

This task is intended to monitor background counts for each array, tracking the cooling of the telescope. Sets of darks were obtained at 24, 70, and 160 microns in the standard fashion. All the expected data were received and are nominal, except for the 70 micron side B anomaly. In this campaign, the telescope primary mirror was at T ~ 3.8 K; the data are consistent with the lowering thermal background compared to the previous campaign. All arrays are now on scale, with mean counts of 4.3, 200, and 4650 DN/s for 24, 70, and 160 microns, respectively.

Analysis

All data were processed with DAT version 2.21 in order to derive calibrated images. The 24 micron and 70 micron dark A images were coadded using mips_enhancer with the dark flag. Slopes can now be fit to all pixels at 70 and 160.


Results

The 24 µm dark remains dark. Figure 1 shows the calibrated, coadded image of all 50 DCEs in the observation (combined with mips_enhancer). Mean counts are 4.3 DN/s (this is probably artificially inflated due to larger slopes in the bottom part of the array; see the MIPS-190 report).

70 µm Data

The 70 µm array is no longer saturated. Most of the pixels on side B, however, are at least partly below the bottom rail, due to the anomaly first seen in this campaign. Slope images for all the dark mirror positions are shown in Figure 3. Mean slopes at the 70 dark A position are ~ 200 DN/s.


Figure 2. 70 µm slope images at the 70 µm dark A position (left), dark B position (middle) and the 160 µm dark/SED mode position (right). Values range from 0 to ~ 1000 DN/s.


160 µm Data

The 160 µm array is fully on-scale, with mean counts ~ 4650 DN/s (not including readout 3). A slope image is shown in Figure 3. Readout 3 continues to misbehave, being completely off-scale below the bottom rail.

Conclusions

The 24 µm darks are at levels comparable with the previous campaign. The 70 and 160 µm arrays are both now unsaturated, although both show pixels off-scale below the bottom rail.
