Flux calibration of the Herschel -SPIRE photometer
We describe the procedure used to flux calibrate the three-band submillimetre photometer in the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory. This includes the equations describing the calibration scheme, a justification for using Neptune as the primary calibration source, a description of the observations and data processing procedures used to derive f...
متن کاملDesign, construction and calibration of single channel sun-photometer for study of aerosols
Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In this paper, the design, construction, and calibration of a single channel sun-photometer is present...
متن کاملEvaluation of calibration methods of a photometer measuring maritime light-emitting diode buoy lanterns
Erkki Ikonen Helsinki University of Technology Metrology Research Institute P.O. Box 3000 FIN-02015 HUT Finland Abstract. A photometer used for on-line product testing of light-emitting diode (LED) buoy lanterns is calibrated for illuminance responsivity using two different methods. The first method is based on absolute calibration of the photometer with the CIE standard illuminant A light sour...
متن کاملABSOLUTE CALIBRATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MULTIBAND IMAGING PHOTOMETER FOR SPITZER. I. THE STELLAR CALIBRATOR SAMPLE AND THE 24 μm CALIBRATION
We present the stellar calibrator sample and the conversion from instrumental to physical units for the 24 μm channel of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The primary calibrators are A stars, and the calibration factor based on those stars is 4.54× 10 MJy sr (DN/s), with a nominal uncertainty of 2%. We discuss the data-reduction procedures required to attain this accuracy; wi...
متن کاملThe Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (blast) 2005: Calibration and Targeted Sources
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) operated successfully during a 100 hr flight from northern Sweden in 2005 June (BLAST05). As part of the calibration and pointing procedures, several compact sources were mapped, including solar system, Galactic, and extragalactic targets, specifically Pallas, CRL 2688, LDN 1014, IRAS 20126+4104, IRAS 21078+5211, IRAS 21307+5049, ...
