== P3.14 Star center Fourier mode images == - **Phase** : 3 - **Status** : Draft - **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C5) + Nighttime calibration (C6) - **Recurrence** : once after instrument installation at telescope platform - **Duration** : 8 hours **Description** - This calibration is performed to calibrate the target star center to the detector in order to provide a reference input for frame derotation and quadrant combination. **Prerequisites** - Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. - Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. - Bad pixel map, Dark **Procedure** - DM produce a pattern offset with four spots symmetric with respect to the star + AO closed-loop + coronagraph - The corresponding image's required specifications are a grid of at least 2x2 regularly spaced focal plane image peaks within 5 and 15 lambda/D with FWHM < 45 mas and separation precision < 6 mas. - DM offset applied on target acquisition to produce a waffle image. Find the center of the four first-order diffraction peaks (cross geometry) to deduce the pixel corresponding to the center field. **Templates* **Success criteria** - Accuracy of 3 mas (goal 1 mas) **Notes** - Same as activity 7.8 in AD4 **LBTO support** - AO support **Date performed and by whom**
