  1. Definition of resolution • In all cases the resolution is defined as l/Dl, where Dl is the FWHM of an emission line measured in pixels multiplied by the dispersion determined during wavelength calibration. • The FWHM of the line is determined by collapsing the line the cross dispersion direction and fitting a gaussian to the line profile. COS Preship Review Resolution Specification

  2. FUV resolution measured as part of Test 1110 • Qualitatively speaking, those lines with very low or very high spectral resolution tend to have few counts. Bright lines generally exceed spectral resolution requirements. COS Preship Review G130 Resolution

  3. FUV resolution measured as part of Test 1110 COS Preship Review G160 Resolution

  4. FUV resolution measured as part of Test 1110 COS Preship Review G140 Resolution

  5. Point of note • Individual wavelength settings for the NUV channel cover non-contiguous parts of the full NUV spectrum. • Multiple grating settings are required to sample the full wavelength coverage of each NUV grating. COS Preship Review NUV Wavelength Coverage

  6. G185M resolution • Measured during Appendix B, Tests 1160 & 1155 • Initial results from Test 1160 found lower than expected resolution. This was attributed to misalignment between RAS/Cal & COS • Resolution tests repeated in GN2 environment during Test 1155 at ambient thermal environment existed. • Resolution meets specifications over measured band-pass. Shorter wavelengths could not be observed in GN2 environment. • G185M band-pass is from 1670-2127Å. 80% of this band-pass is 1760-2127. ? 80% Symbols refer to OSM2 wavelength settings Multiple settings are required to cover entire band-pass COS Preship Review G185M Resolution

  7. G225M resolution • Measured during Appendix B, Tests 1170 & 1156 • Initial results from Test 1170 found lower than expected resolution. This was attributed to misalignment between RAS/Cal & COS • Resolution tests repeated in GN2 environment during Test 1156 at ambient thermal environment existed. • Resolution meets specifications Symbols refer to OSM2 wavelength settings Multiple settings are required to cover entire band-pass COS Preship Review G225M Resolution

  8. G285M resolution • Measured during Test 1180 • Resolution meets specifications Symbols refer to OSM2 wavelength settings Multiple settings are required to cover entire bandp-pass COS Preship Review G285M Resolution

  9. G230L resolution • Measured during test 1190 • Resolution meets specifications over most of the band-pass • Band-pass is 1700-3200Å. 80% is 2000-3200Å. 80% COS Preship Review G230L Resolution

  10. FUV02 meets QE specifications (UCB memo COS-021217-JV). • Visible light rejection is 1x10-12 and 4x10-11 (ref. UCB memo COS-031027-JBM). • Absolute efficiency measurements are based on a calibrated photodiode, so the absolute error ~10%. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  11. Digitized pixel size is described in UCB memo COS-031027-JBM. Pixel sizes in final data are 6x24 microns. • Dispersion and cross-dispersion resolution are shown to the right and discussed in UCB memo COS-031027-JBM. • Detector x-resolution for segment A does impact net spectral resolution. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  12. XDL dark rate measured during to be ~0.425 counts/sec/cm2 (UCB memo COS-031027-JBM), exceeding the 0.5 counts/sec/cm2 specification. • XDL maximum global and local rate discussed in UCB memos COS-031027-JBM, COS-010807-JV, and COS-010404-JVV. Requirements are met. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  13. FUV Flat Field Data • Evaluation of the FUV flat field is progressing. The histograms to the right show the distribution of pixel-to-pixel variations in the p-flats for segment A & B. (FUV detector meets flat field uniformity specification) • Stability of the flat field with charge extraction is under investigation. Quick look analysis showed no appreciable difference in the PHD after the deep flat fields were acquired. This is an ongoing investigation. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  14. Specification listed in CEI corresponds to <100%/C/cm2, the rate of change of the modal gain with charge extraction, assuming the DRM. • FUV02 MCPs were scrubbed to <100%/C/cm2, so they meet the specification. • Results and test description can be found in UCB memos COS-031027-JBM and COS-991208-JV. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  15. Results presented in UCB memos COS-031027-JBM and UCB-COS-RPT-1164 Rev A. • Focal plane matching meets requirements. COS Preship Review FUV Detector Requirements

  16. Results from Test 2170 • O2 absorption spectrum • Final spectrum consists of multiple individual spectra that were cross-correlated and co-added. • Individual spectra consisted of multiple FP-Split exposures • Data were flat fielded as well. • SN in the continuum exceeds 100. COS Preship Review NUV Detector Requirements

  17. Per COS-NUV-001, the lifetime requirement placed on the NUV detector when it was built is “10% DQE loss at >8x1010 counts/mm2”. • This specification corresponds to 5x107 counts/pixel • The NUV channel uses 3 stripes, each 3x1024 pixels = 9216 total pixels • This means that the NUV detector will suffer a 10% loss in DQE when it has observed 4.6x1011 events TOTAL in the 3 spectral stripes. • The DRM (COS ISR 99-01) states that the NUV channel can expect to see 1.4x109 counts over the lifetime of the mission. • This is 2 orders of magnitude below the value at which the NUV detector will experience a 10% loss of DQE. • Finally, the three spectral stripes for each channel do not fall on the same region of the detector, thus increasing the number of pixels used and decreasing the net counts/pixel. • It is reasonable to assume that the NUV lifetime will support the lifetime requirements. • The re-entrant window in the NUV channel was polished to <l/4 at 6328Å as stated in the certification logs. • The re-entrant window defines the focal surface of the detector. l/4 = 158 nm << 0.1 mm, thus the NUV detector focal plane meets requirements.

  18. GSFC IVT verified the alignment of CAOS and RAS/Cal prior to each major alignment or test activity. • No reports describing the alignment have been issued by the IVT at this time. COS Preship Review Optical Stimulus Requirements

  22. NUV Repeatability • Comparison of repeated visits to same setup position. 107 spectra in 14 groups (grating, setup l , FPSPLIT). Cross-correlation using 1 spectrum as reference. 3 stripes averaged. Assume 1 resel = 3 NUV pixels. • Repeatability is • ± 1 resel 77% of cases • ± 6 resels 100%. COS Preship Review Repeatability Requirement - NUV

  28. This requirement addresses two issues • That the residuals in the wavelength calibration are << 15 km/s • That applying the wavelength calibration as determined from the wavelength calibration spectrum with an appropriate offset in the a0 term of the wavelength solution to the science spectrum does not introduce error greater than 15 km/sec in the absolute wavelength scale (1 resolution element). • 1 NUV pixel = ~4 km/sec • Residuals in wavelength scale meet requirements.

  34. Appendix A test 450, July 03 • Appendix B test 1250, Sept 22 • Appendix B test 1255, Sept 24 • Note: The new CEI values for the NUV channels are values that have been submitted as a change request, NOT a waiver. These new values were rederived after an over-sight made early in the development of COS was discovered. Basically, when the NUV channel was broken into three channels from two the CEI values were copied not rederived. No prior knowledge of the as-built component efficiencies was assumed. 6 of 8 of the values actually increased compared to current values in CEI. COS Preship Review G185M Efficiency

  44. The next few slides summarizes a an analysis conducted for FUV02 based on component level flat fields that demonstrates we can expect to achieve SN 100:1. • The data set presented was taken prior to delivery of FUV02 and after the final scrub of the MCP stack was completed. • ~29 hours of data were taken, or about ~1x109 events/segment. All data was taken as event lists. 108 files were processed. • No special environmental conditions were imposed on the test, so the temperature of the detector and electronics varied several degrees during the data acquisition. • For this analysis the data were thermally corrected and then the data was divided into two halves (image 1 and image 2). • Image 1 was then divided by image 2 and the statistics of the residuals were analyzed to evaluate the stability and noise characteristics of the flat field images. • In addition, FPSPLITs observations - the nominal observing mode - was simulated by shifting and adding 4 copies the same spectrum. The residuals were then evaluated and an effective signal to noise computed. COS Preship Review Component Level Results

Histogram of the ratio of image 1 to image 2 for the spectral region per 6x12 pixel resolution element (RE). The width of the distribution is smaller because there are more counts per spectral bin compared to the counts per image bin. Histogram of the ratio of image 1 to image 2 for the spectral region.
