  2. Summary • HI Instrument concept • Main challenges • HI Straylight requirements • Instrument design (diffractive and reflective baffles) • HI pre-flight performance measurements • Spot and photometry results • Sun-limb, off-pointing and out-FOV straylight results • HI preliminary in-flight straylight results • Off-pointing results • Straylight pattern analysis • In and out-FOV results SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  3. HI 2 Solar light HI 1 Forward Baffle Internal Baffle HI Instrument Concept • Main challenges: • Faint detection capability (10-15 B0)  high stray-light rejection requirements • Large FOV  specific optics SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  4. Stray-light requirements Instrument background straylight requirements: < 3x10-13 B/B0 for HI-1 < 10-14 B/B0 for HI-2 HI Straylight Requirements Major stray-light contributors • Direct solar light (B0 !) • Bright sources in and out FOV (Earth) • Payload elements near the UFOV • Background composed of F-corona, planets, stars, Earth and moon HI-1 HI-2 SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  24. HI-1 straylight: ring pattern analysis Ray-tracing model of HI-1 lens barrel shows that the 2 last retainers generate the ring pattern FOV border (3.65-arcdeg) FOV border - 3 arcdeg (0.65-arcdeg) SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  25. HI-1 straylight: ring pattern analysis (2) FOV border - 7 arcdeg FOV border - 10 arcdeg FOV border - 15 arcdeg FOV border - 20 arcdeg SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  26. In-flight: HI-1 straylight (out-FOV) Earth arriving close to the HI-1B FOV on beg. February 07 (before entering in FOV) confirms the preliminary analysis of ring pattern (no diffractive pattern in the ring) 30 26 HI-1 B (1-Feb-07) HI-1 B (3-Feb-07) SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  27. In-flight: HI-1 straylight in-FOV Similar ring straylight pattern with a bright star (in FOV), probably due to other similar parts of the lens barrel (ghost). TBC. 1.3∙10-12 B/B0 > 2∙10-9 B/B0 SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  28. 88,425 In-flight: HI-2 straylight (out-FOV) The 5 oval edges are in the FOV and imaged. Preliminary explanation is Earth close behind instrument and illuminate internal baffles from rear HI-2 A (13-Dec-06) HI-2 B (15-Jan-07) SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  29. In-flight: HI-2 straylight (in and out FOV) Earth crossed HI-2B FOV beg. of February 120 100 90 140 50 20 10 80 In FOV Earth behind instrument is not the only straylight sources in HI-2 (SWAVES boom ?) SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris

  30. Conclusions Preliminary straylight comparisons • In-flight straylight / ghosts are qualitatively similar to the pre-flight measurements • Comparable sun limb straylight level in HI-1, but lower in-flight off-pointing values • Ring pattern in HI-1 preliminary analysis result Work plan for CSL • Continue HI-1 and HI-2 in-field and at border of FOV analysis • Straylight quantitative results to be continued and refine (additional off-pointing) • Earth and SWAVES boom effect in HI-2 to be confirmed when Earth will be further • Comparison of HI-2 straylight with Earth-S/C-Sun angle • Ghosts and straylight to be re-evaluated when in nominal orbit with Earth far enough • In-flight calibration and F-Corona removal for straylight analysis results improvement • Instrument other performances analysis • Compare PSF to have a model of PSF for de-convolution • Characterize PSF as function of position in CCD • Characterize distortion for correction SECCHI Consortium Meeting - Paris
