The MIPS Astronomical Observing Templates
MIPS Photometry & Super Resolution Imaging
- Imaging photometry and high resolution imaging at 24, 70, and 160 ?m.
- Because of the expected science demands and pointing limitations for SED, the Photometry/Super Resolution and Scan AOTs have been selected to be available for Cycle 1 observing. The other two AOTs will be available for Cycle 2.
Important Operational Features:
- Array operation is identical for all modes, as is data grouping.
- Commanding, stimulator, and scan mirror operation is very similar for all modes.
- Solar System tracking is currently supported for all MIPS AOTs.
- MIPS Freeze-frame Scan-mapping
- Telescope scanning at 24, 70, and 160 ?m for large field maps
- MIPS Spectro-Photometry or Spectral Energy Distribution (SED)
- ?/?? = 14 - 25 covering 52 - 99 ?m.
- MIPS Total Power Measurement
- Zero level reference observations for absolute brightness of very extended sources.
