24µm Frame Table Updata Sanity Check

Objective

Description

Data Collected

Data Reformatting Requirements

Array Data Desired:

24 µm

Data Reformatting Option:

• Normal - One FITS multi-image extension file per AOR. Output from MIPS DATPACK, one DCE in each image extension.

Task Dependencies

• MIPS-130 24 µm Focal Plane Survey, Coarse
• MIPS-910: 24 µm darks
• MIPS-917: 24 µm flat

Calibration Dependencies

Calibration product needed:
• 24 µm flats
• 24 µm darks

Output and Deliverable Products

• Calibrated data- output from MIPS DAT - sent to centroider
• Centroided data
• Comparison of Centroided data and information from AOT - to determine if targets fell on array at predicted locations.

Data Analysis

• JPL MIPL transfers downlink data to SSC.
• SSC downlink ops processes data and places results in sandbox.
• SSC MIPS IST uses FTZ to transfer data from sandbox to SSCIST21, and repackages to run with the Arizona data analysis tool (DAT).
• The data are calibrated using the MIPS DAT with following options:
  1. Run mips_sloper : with following options:
     • mips_sloper -j dirname filename
     • -j : directory below $MIPS_DIR/Cal to find calibration files.
     • For 24 micron array - dark is applied at sloper level. Use -b: not to do the 24 micron dark subtraction.
  2. Run mips_caler : with following options:
     • mips_caler -F flatfield_filename -C pathname
     • -C path is the path to where the calibration files live. If you do not use the _C then the default will be used.
     • -l (to turn off latent correction) filename
     • if you want to apply the latent correction then do not do -l and use -L filename (text file with Si latent correction coefficients)
  3. Run Xsloper_view and check to make sure data seems reasonable:
• The calibrated data file mipsfps_YYY095.fits (YYY a 3-digit integer string, identifying the run number) is a FITS multi-extension image file, one extension per DCE.
• The calibrated data file is placed on sscist21: /mipsdata/fps/inpdat. File is linked to processing subdirectory (currently /home/sscmip/users/waw/fps).
• The MIPS IDL Centroid File Generation tool, mipspos.pro, is run according to detailed instructions in sscist21: /home/sscmip/users/waw/fps/fps.doc.
• The output centroid values are compared with input list generated from the values defined in the AOR.
