Purpose: The purpose of this program is to monitor the sensitivity, wavelength and detector calibrations of Side 2.
Description: Four times per year (twice in Cycle 6) the following observations will be done:
DETECTOR CALIBRATIONS
1) dark count measurement
2) focus check at nominal high voltage and tweak current
3) flat field exposure at center of photocathode
4) coarse sample mapping function at central y deflection
5) coarse line mapping function at central x deflection
SENSITIVITY MONITORING
The sensitivity calibration will be monitored with the UV spectrophotometric standard star BD+28D4211. The medium resolution gratings will measure the standard through the LSA and SSA. 5 observations will be made between 1200 and 3000 Å
WAVELENGTH MONITORING
The spectral cal lamp mini-functional test for the first order gratings will be done. It is an internal test which makes measurements of the lamp (SC2). It is used to monitor the carrousel function, y deflections, resolving power, and sensitivity.
Fraction of GO Programs Supported: All GHRS programs using gratings G160M (19%), G200M (7%), and G270M (15%).
Resources:
Observation: Internal-16 orbits (8 orbits for each of the 2 executions. Note: the internal orbits are full orbits). External-6 orbits (3 orbits for each of the 2 executions).
Analysis: 0.24 FTE. The data will be reduced and analyzed by a technical assistants, L. E. Sherbert (0.08 FTE) and A. Gonnella (0.08 FTE) under the supervision of an Instrument Scientist (0.04 FTE per execution for a total of 0.08 FTE).
Special Requirements: One complete set of observations (detector + sensitivity + wavelengths) should be on one SMS. The detector calibrations themselves should be executed within 24 hours. The 3 repeats should occur should occur every 120 +/- 10 days.
Accuracy: Relative sensitivities will be measured to better than 2%. Wavelengths should be good to within 1 diode RMS.
Products: The results of the test will be discussed in an ISR to be published 2 months after completion of the program.
