Default responsivities are used in case:

For staring mode observations with the PHT-P or PHT-C subsystems, default detector responsivities are not needed as long as at least one FCS measurement was obtained per detector. However, it can happen that no FCS measurements were collected (due to e.g. data dropouts from telemetry loss) or that the quality of the FCS measurement is insufficient (due to e.g. complete saturation). In those cases default responsivities will be applied in the conversion from signal in V/s to an in-band power on the detector in W.

The detector responsivity is a function of orbital phase. At the end of the science window the responsivities of all detectors are higher than at the beginning. For detectors P3, C100, and C200 two sets of orbital dependencies are provided: one set for observations before rev 150 (files have suffix _01), the other set for rev 150 and later (files have suffix _02). At rev 150 an additional detector curing procedure was introduced sometime after apogee passage which restores the responsivity to the same level as that at the beginning of the science window.

Since the responsivities are provided in A/W, the conversion from V/s to W can only be carried out if the integration capacities $C_{int}$ associated with a detector are known, see also Section 4.2.1. The capacitances are listed in Table 14.5.


Table 14.5: Integration capacities associated with detectors.
Detector Capacitance [As/V]
P1 $9{\times}10^{-14}$
P2 $9{\times}10^{-14}$
P3 $9{\times}10^{-14}$
C100 $9{\times}10^{-14}$
C200 $14{\times}10^{-14}$
SS $5.26{\times}10^{-14}$
SL $6.3{\times}10^{-14}$

Notes
$\bullet$ 1 A/(V/s) = 1 Farad
$\bullet$ For the arrays, capacitances refer to individual pixels.

For all default responsivity tables, the following FITS keywords are common:

NAXIS = 3
TYPE = REAL*4
