14.21 Effective Solid Angles of Apertures and Pixels


Description Parameter:	 Sections 4.5.1,  5.2.5 and 5.3
Processing Level:	 AAR
Usage in processing:	 Section 8.4.7
File Type:		 Binary FITS Table
File Names:		 PPOMEGA, PC1OMEGA, PC2OMEGA

In the conversion from flux per pixel or per aperture (in Jy/beam) to surface brightness (in MJy/sr) the effective solid angles ${\Omega}_{eff}$ are required. In the present set of Cal-G files, the effective solid angles were obtained from a model calculation which takes into account the ISO primary mirror, secondary mirror, tripod, and the linear sizes of the apertures and the detectors as measured pre-flight.

The Cal-G files also contain the dimensions of the apertures (in case of P1, P2, and P3) or the offsets and dimensions of the detector pixels (in case of C100 and C200) as projected on the sky in arcseconds. Fields for the uncertainties of all parameters are included.

The Cal-G files related contain the following limitations:

In case the PHT-P aperture areas (in mm$^2$) are required, OLP uses a hardcoded list of aperture versus focal plane area (parameter $A(a)$ in Section 5.2.5 and in Section 7.10.3). The values of the areas are listed in Section A.1.2.
