10. Special Calibrations
Any additional calibration(s) that are not included as part of routine
calibrations (Section 9) conducted by the SSC will
be regarded as special calibrations, and are the responsibility
of the approved investigator. The observing time required to conduct such
special calibrations will be charged against the observer's allocation
and must be included in the original science
proposal. The SSC will process such observations through the normal data
processing pipeline(s). The investigator is responsible for using these
data for the special calibration requirements of their program. The normal
proprietary data period applies to special calibration data that are part
of an approved science program.
All Spitzer Space Telescope data, including routine and special
calibrations, can be accessed and analyzed by appropriate SSC instrument
specialists to assess instrument performance and to develop improved or
necessary instrument calibrations. For such use of special calibration
data, strict confidentiality will be maintained throughout the normal
proprietary period.
