Objective

Before carrying out the focal plane survey for 70 µm WF (campaign H), we want to check the suitability of the targets. They should not be saturated, too weak, or obviously extended. The S/N in one 3 sec integration should be good, > 30. We have 3 candidates for the 70 µm wide field. We will execute 1 small field AOT per source, with 3 sec integrations.

Description

70 um photometry, small source, 1 cycle, 3 sec - 8 min total.
This task is performed in campaign G to check the suitablity of the star to be used to map the focal plane in campaign H. The frame table updates for all the campaigns can be found in the following table: Frame Table Updates.

Data Collected

1 70 µm photometry AOT

Data Reformatting Requirements

Array Data Desired:

70 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-911: 70 µm Darks
MIPS-918: 70 µm illumination correction

Calibration Dependencies

70 µm IC
70 µm darks

Output and Deliverable Products

A file that contains the output of B Wheaton's centroiding program. A centroided position for each target on the array.

Data Analysis

JPL MIPL transfers downlink data to SSC.

SSC downlink ops processes through pipleine and places results in sandbox.

SSC MIPS IST uses FTZ to transfer data from sandbox to SSCIST21. The MIPS IT team repackages with the MIPS DATPACK. The data is calibrated with the Arizona data analysis tool (DAT).

Method of Calibrating data using MIPS DAT.

Run mips_sloper : with following options:
- mips_sloper filename
- IF we do not use the default directory for the calibration files. Then use the -j option.
- -j dirname : directory below $MIPS_DIR/Cal to find calibration files.
Run mips_caler : with following options:
- mips_caler -I illumination_correction_filename -D dark_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.
- -D dark filename.
- -I illumnation correction filename
Run Xsloper_view and check to make sure data seems reasonable:

The calibrated data file mipsfps_YYY107.fits (YYY a 3-digit integer string, identifying the run number) is a FITS multi-extension image file, one extension per DCE.
