8. Commissioning of AOTs
An Astronomical Observation Template (AOT) must be tested, validated and
commissioned by the SSC before routine science observations can be
executed with the corresponding observing mode. The commissioning of an
AOT entails a wide variety of activities, and includes the verification of
spacecraft command sequences, proper operability of the science
instrument, and the proper input of spacecraft data and output of
calibrated data by the relevant automated processing pipeline at the
SSC.
All eight commissioned Spitzer Space Telescope AOTs are
currently available to Observers:
- IRAC Mapping/Photometry
- IRS Staring-Mode Spectroscopy
- MIPS Photometry/Super-Resolution Imaging
- MIPS Scan Mapping
- IRS Spectral Mapping
- MIPS Spectral Energy Distribution
- MIPS Total Power
- IRS Peak-Up Imaging
