ASI Review Padova ICC Contribution 1

WP3000 : Padova ICC Contribution

Mattia Vaccari & Giulia Rodighiero & Gabriele Mainetti

Department of Astronomy - University of Padova

WP 3000.1 - Partecipazione all'ICC di PACS : fase di sviluppo

WP 3000.2 - Partecipazione all'ICC di PACS : fase operativa

WP 3000.3 - Partecipazione all'ICC di SPIRE : fase di sviluppo

WP 3000.4 - Partecipazione all'ICC di SPIRE : fase operativa

ASI Review Padova ICC Contribution 2

Testing of Astronomical Observing Templates (i.e. Observing Modes) for optimizing the execution of observations of extragalactic surveys both in Guaranteed Time and Open Time Key Programs

PACS : AOT Testing(Rodighiero)

A scan mapping strategy with perpendicular “cross-linked”

scans is adopted to homogeneously cover the field and remove correlated noise

during data reduction

(PEP) Guaranteed Time Key Program

ASI Review Padova ICC Contribution 3

Instrument Simulator Testing activities included:– Instrument Simulator Testing: step by step validation of the PACS

Simulator – Simulator applications: production of synthetic input skies to support

the preparation of Open Time Key Programs with the PACS simulator example of a deep extragalactic field without and with the effect of a lensing cluster along the line of sight

100 m without lensing - 100 m with lensing

PACS : Instrument Simulator Testing(Rodighiero)

SPIRE : Pipeline Development & Testing(Mainetti & Vaccari)

“Photometer Background” Pipeline Module Leadership : developing software for modeling & removing telescope background from photometer bolometer timelines

“Visualization Tools” Leadership : developing software for interactive visualization and manipulation of bolometer timelines such as the Detector Timeline Explorer

Pipeline Software Integration, Testing & Debugging : solving Software Problem Reports (SPRs) and implementing Software Change Requests (SCRs) via a centralized on-line reporting system as well as dedicated telecons and meetings for pipeline End-To-End tests at SPIRE Data Centers & ESA sites

SPIRE : Detector Timeline Explorer(Mainetti & Vaccari)

The Detector Timeline Explorer is a Graphical User Interface allowing interactive visualization and manipulation of bolometer timelines along the SPIRE pipeline

– Main window displays fluxes over full bolometer arrays at any chosen time according to a color scale while a slider allows for browsing along the timeline

– Clicking on any given bolometer within the main window creates zoom-in interactive Flux vs Time plots allowing a closer inspection of problem bolometers and instrumental features and flagging for follow-up

SPIRE DP System Documentation & Testing(Mainetti & Rodighiero & Vaccari)

Our contribution to the Herschel (& SPIRE) Data Processing (DP) System (jointly developed by ESA and three instrument consortia) has spanned:

– Representing SPIRE within ESA-led Herschel DP Users Group, providing feedback on DP system development and representing SPIRE at dedicated DP telecons & meetings

– Leading SPIRE DP Users Group & SPIRE Documentation Editorial Board, overseeing development of and providing feedback on SPIRE DP system and its documentation and arranging DP system training sessions for SPIRE team members

– Defining & testing JIDE & HIPE Graphical User Interfaces (the graphical front end that will be presented to the general Herschel user) and ensuring they are user-friendly

SPIRE Quick Look Analysis Graphical

User Interface : allowing command-line & interactive data reduction &

analysis, currently based on the JIDE

GUI but now moving toward using the

HIPE GUI
