Subsections


7.11 Ancillary SPD Data


7.11.1 FCS measurements

Detailed description: Section 2.5 and Chapter 3

For PHT-P and PHT-C observations in staring or raster mode, the FCS measurement is processed similar to the sky measurement to obtain a weighted mean signal for each detector per measurement. The signal records (which also include the uncertainty, median, and first and third quartiles) are stored in a Cal-A product. In the case of raster mode observations there are two FCS measurements. The signal records of both of these FCS measurements are stored in the same product.

Ancillary data required:

None


7.11.2 PHT-S dark measurement

Detailed description: Section 2.5 and Section 3.7

Each PHT-S sky measurement is preceded by a 32 s dark measurement. This measurement can be used to assess whether the detectors are still affected by a transient from a preceding sky observation.

The weighted average of the signals of the dark measurement are determined without prior subtraction of the dark signal. The signals are stored without further processing in the dedicated SPD dark signal files PSSD and PSLD, see Sections 13.3.9 and 13.3.10.

Ancillary data required:

None


7.11.3 Dark signal measurement

Detailed description: Section 2.5 and Section 3.4

The signals of the optional dark measurement of PHT05 or PHT25 are processed in the same way as the PHT-S dark measurement. The average signal per measurement per detector is obtained without subtraction of the standard dark signal. The signals are stored in the dedicated SPD dark signal files PP1D, PP2D, PP3D, PC1D, and PC2D, see Sections 13.3.11 13.3.12 and 13.3.13.

Ancillary data required:

None


7.11.4 FCS straylight measurement

Detailed description: Section 2.5 and Section 3.4

The signals of the optional FCS straylight measurement of PHT05 or PHT25 are processed in the same way as a normal FCS measurement. The signal record is included in the Cal-A product of the FCS measurement of the same observation.

Ancillary data required:

None
