35 | | • **Phase** : 3 |
36 | | • **Status** : Draft |
37 | | • **Category** : Nighttime calibration (C5) |
38 | | • **Recurrence** : on every target, starting from commissioning. |
39 | | • **Duration** : 20 minutes |
40 | | **Description** |
41 | | • This calibration is performed to calibrate the target star center with respect to the detector in order to provide a reference input for frame derotation and quadrant combination. |
42 | | **Prerequisites** |
43 | | • Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. |
44 | | • Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. |
45 | | • Bad pixel map, Dark |
46 | | **Procedure** |
47 | | • DM produce a pattern offset with four spots symmetric with respect to the star + AO closed-loop + coronagraph |
48 | | • The required specifications of the corresponding image 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. |
49 | | • 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. |
50 | | **Success criteria** |
51 | | • Accuracy of 3 mas (goal 1 mas) |
52 | | **Notes** |
53 | | • Same as activity 7.8 in AD4 |
54 | | **LBTO support** |
55 | | • Support from LBTI/LBTO? |
