Helpdesk / FAQ

Several GO and instrument calibration programs (mostly IRAC) have used Instrument Engineering Requests (IERs) to obtain observations. Below is a list of all GO programs that have used IERs. The central positions and some other basic information (eg. the program's abstract) for these IERs can be found in Leopard or in the ROC (starting with Version 9.1). IER entries in the ROC can be indentified by an AOT field equal to "irs", "irac", or "mips". Because an IER does not, by definition, conform to our AOR standard, it is not possible to display detailed information about the observation within Spot or Leopard. The best way to determine what data were taken in the IER is to download the data and examine them.

The IERs from program 30594 span a large area of sky. Because it is not possible to convey the extent of their coverage in the ROC, nor is it possible to use "Overlay AOR" feature within Leopard/Spot to examine the coverage, we are providing the overlay mapping files for these AORs. To use them you will first need to display an image of the region--you can get the central coordinate of the IER using Leopard or the ROC (only AORs can be displayed in the Observations tab of Spot). Then select "Overlays"->"Read AOR Overlay Mapping File..." and choose the .pts file that corresponds to the IER you would like displayed.
