• Calibrations are of two types:• 1. Ground calibrations• 2. In orbit calibrations
• In general, • calibration deliverable = ground/orbit/(ground+in orbit)
• Estimations:• Reflectivity, Transmission, detection efficiency, spectral and spatial
response of various components
• Integration of individual estimations

• Notation:• Like in GALEX, UVIT magnitudes and fluxes will be expressed in the AB
system (Oke 1974), based on spectrum with a constant flux per unit frequency and a zero-point approximately based on the V magnitude of Alpha Lyrea (Vega) at 5480.
• • m(UVIT, filter) = -2.5 log (cps/rr) = -2.5 log (f UVIT)• where cps is the counts per second, and rr is the relative response at the
position of the object.• • UVIT calibrated magnitudes are converted to a system with AB zero-point:• m(AB, filter) = m(UVIT, filter) +m0(AB)

1.Wavelength coverage in FUV and NUV2.Dispersion 3.Spectral sensitivity - flux calibration4.Wolf-Rayet stars and planetary nebulae will be used for the
above tasks.5.The stability of the above parameters as a function of time
will be monitored

• Pointing accuracy: Nearby stars with accurate astrometry will be used to track the pointing accuracy, this will be monitored.
• The positional accuracy of < 0.5 arcsec between the channels within the full field is required.
•Estimation of Field of view: Old Open clusters • (M67, NGC 188), globular clusters with good • astrometry will be used to estimate the coverage.

•Estimation of PSF
1.Observations of photometric standards at the centre and at 9 positions will be used to estimate the average PSF as well as its variation across the field.
2.Observations of open cluster/globular cluster will be used to find the variation of the PSF across the field.

2.Will be checked in orbit – using globular clusters with good astrometry and large number of stars across the field.
•.Possible target – Omega Centauri, NGC 362, NGC 6752, Omega Cen was simulated for this purpose.
•.It has a bright core a few bright stars – can be used with caution
Star clusters will also be used to calibrate angles between the axes and between the fields

•Timing Calibration
• Temporal resolution:• The read rate of the detector for full field: 30 frames/sec = 34ms
exposure time
• A 6'X6' field can be read at:• 500 frames/sec= 2ms exposure time (pointing accuracy ~ 3 arcmin)
• It is possible to record absolute time for each photon event.
• Calibrations : Need to choose an appropriate source for calibration in orbit (UVIT/+Other payloads)

•Estimation of Background:
•Background at the beginning and end of an orbit: First and last images taken in an orbit will be used to estimate the background as a function of Sun & Moon location.
•Estimation of scattered light due to a bright object in the field or nearby – a few test cases will be observed with varying proximity
• Thermal effect on effective areas in orbit: This will be part of the zero-point calibration, as a function on temperature
