WP3000 : Padova ICC Contribution

1. WP3000 : Padova ICC Contribution 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 Mattia Vaccari & Giulia Rodighiero & Gabriele Mainetti Department of Astronomy - University of Padova Padova ICC Contribution

2. PACS : AOT Testing(Rodighiero) • 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 Screenshot detailing the coverage of the COSMOS field as planned by the PACS Extragalactic Probe (PEP) Guaranteed Time Key Program A scan mapping strategy with perpendicular “cross-linked” scans is adopted to homogeneously cover the field and remove correlated noise during data reduction Padova ICC Contribution

3. PACS : Instrument Simulator Testing(Rodighiero) 100 m without lensing - 100 m with lensing • 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 Padova ICC Contribution

4. 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 Screenshot of SPIRE pipeline execution taken during pipeline integration tests Padova ICC Contribution

5. 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 Detector Timeline Explorer : Main Window (left) & Zoom-In (right) Padova ICC Contribution

6. 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 Padova ICC Contribution
