P3.7 Estimate the instrument throughput

• Phase : 3
• Status : Draft
• Category : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C4)
• Recurrence : once at commissioning
• Duration : 50 minutes

Description

• Knowing the magnitude of the acquired star, the throughput of the instrument is verified for all the scientific filters.

Prerequisites

• Atmospheric conditions: photometric.
• Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
• Photometric stars as targets for every filter.
• AO working.

Procedure

• Take unsaturated images of the photometric star for every science filter.
• Estimate the instrument throughput for every filter.

Success criteria

• The instrument throughput for every filter is estimated and note down.

Notes LBTO support

• Support from LBTI/LBTO?
• Presence of John Hill usually helps while collimating for the first time.
• Steve Allenson (as the TO) will be a great asset too.

Associated SHARK-NIR personnel

• JF, LM, MdP, MM (from AZ), DV?
