abstract:

    line_1:        Aim is to monitor the throughput of the F96 relay. The Throughput of the F/96
    line_2:        was extensively measured during SV. This proposal repeats some of those
    line_3:        measurements to verify that the throughput of the F/96 relay is not changing.
    line_4:        Eight medium band filters, chosen the F/96 wavelength range, are used. They are:
    line_5:        F140M, F170M, F210M, F253M, F346M, F410M,  and F550M. Since the three bluest
    line_6:        filters were previously monitored with an observatory level program which used
    line_7:        BPM16274 as the spectrophotometric standard, those filters will continue to use
    line_8:        that star. As with previous UV monitoring exposures, an interactive acquisition
    line_9:        will be required. Since BPM16274 is not a visible spectrophotometric standard,
    line_10:       a different standard is used for the rest of the filters. Since a significant
    line_11:       variation of sensitivity with format has been detected, a series of exposures
    line_12:       using the same filter combination but different video formats is included to
    line_13:       more accurately measure the effect. Since one of the formats will be the
    line_14:       256x256 format, an interactive acquisition will be needed.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        To measure the throughput of the OTA + FOC we shall image a UV-optical
    line_2:        spectrophotometric standard through a limited sampling of F/96 medium
    line_3:        band filters. The filters have been precisely calibrated at the
    line_4:        unit level. As we know their transmisison characteristics
    line_5:        accurately, and we know the flux of the standard star, we can determine
    line_6:        the sensitivity of the OTA + FOC from the observed FOC photon counts.
    line_7:        The throughput must be evaluated at a number of different wavelengths.
    line_8:        The results will be compared to those obtained for the same filters from
    line_9:        SV proposal 1511. To check for the format-dependent changes in
    line_10:       sensitivity, the 512zx1024, 512zx512, 512x1024, and 256x256 formats
    line_11:       will be used with one filter combination in addition to the usual
    line_12:       512x512 format. An interactive acquisition is required to guarantee
    line_13:       that the halo of the star falls within the 256x256 format as well as
    line_14:       ensure consistency with previous DQE observations that have the
    line_15:       standard star centered within the 512x512 format.
