Scheduling¶
PV phase: Execute twice in the first two weeks of PV phase. Separation to the CALBLOCK-PV-001: Self Calibration visits should be at least two days. This is to get better sampling of potentially fast photometric oscillations due to ice contamination.
Routine phase: Approximately weekly, at least as long as CALBLOCK-F-013: Phase Diversity is active. Scheduling must not disturb any thermal stabilisation periods. This block is thus best executed immediately before a thermal stabilisation period, or after the end of a finished PDC block.
In case of failure, skip and continue with the plan.
Time-critical¶
Yes. Must not disturb thermal stabilization period.
Dependencies¶
None
Objective¶
The PDC campaign is susceptible to contamination, and a higher cadence than the monthly self-cal visits is required. These observations provide a quick photometric monitoring of sources in the self-cal field.
Observations¶
Execute a single ROS at the center of the self-cal field.

Instrument configuration¶
Instrument: Wide survey
Methodology / Uplink procedure¶
Entity: VIS & NISP
Commanding Method: NISP: Observation, VIS: Science
Dither Sequence: ROS
Inter-operability constraints¶
None
In-orbit duration¶
In-orbit Duration: 1.2 h
Data volume¶
1*ROS = 4981 MB
Processing input¶
Ground Processing Input Data: All calibration products to run the standard science pipeline
Data Description: Each visit provides a single set of ROS data, like for one wide survey field.
Processing output¶
Mean flux loss in VIS and NISP images, computed over all sources in the field-of-view, compared to previous Self-cal visits (long-term photometric monitoring).
Required accuracy, constraints¶
Images successfully acquired
Processing tools¶
Full SGS processing as for any wide survey field.
It is not necessary to run OU-SIR, but might be easier to just do it.
