Section 4. High Resolution Spectrograph

The calibration of HRS data consists of the following steps:

1. Bad or suspect data are identified u sing the data quality initialization file, < unique name>.R5H.

2. Raw counts are converted to count rates by dividing each data point by the exposure time.

3. Diode nonlinearities are removed by applying a paired-pulse or dead time correction using coefficients stored in the table <unique name>.CMG.

4. The nonuniformities are removed by using the diode response for each diode stored in reference file <unique name>.R0H. 5. Photocathode granularities are removed by first mapping each data point from detector coordinates to photocathode coordinates using coefficients in tables <unique name>.CZ1 and < unique name>.CZ2. The photocathode response applied is obtained from the reference file <unique name>.R1H.

6. Vignetting correction corrects for both light loss due to vignetting and low-frequency sensitivity variations across the photocathode. The vignetting file has a name of the form <unique name>.R2H.

7. Wavelengths are determined for each point using the dispersion coefficients in table <unique name>.CZ6, correcting for thermal effects using coefficients in table < unique name>.CZ7. For the echelle spectra, the spectral order is computed using the parameters in table < unique name >.CZ5. If necessary, an incidence angle offset is added to the wavelengths. The offset is computed using coefficients stored in table < unique name>.CZ8. A velocity correction is done to convert to heliocentric wavelengths, and a vacuum-to-air correction is performed for wavelengths above 2000 Angstroms.

8. The background is smoothed by a median filter, a mean filter, or a low-order polynomialwith filter widths and polynomial order specified in table < unique name >.CZ3. If the background is a sky spectrum, it is normalized to the object spectrum aperture before subtraction from the gross spectrum using relative aperture sizes also stored in this table. The background is corrected for scattered light using coefficients specified in table <unique name>.CZB. Alternatively, the background can be computed based upon a count rate model instead of data acquired during the observation. The count rate model is specified in table < unique name>.CZE. An ancillary file needed to use the count rate model that is used to issue warnings when the observation is near the SAA is specified in the image <unique name>.R6H.

9. A ripple correction is performed for data taken with an echelle using coefficients in tables <unique name>.CZ9 and <unique name>.CZA.

10. The net flux is converted to absolute flux units using the sensitivity values stored in reference files <unique name>.R3H and <unique name>.R4H.

4.1 HRS Reference Files

The HRS reference files are composed of a FITS header file and a binary data file. Although the header files do follow the FITS conventions, the header listings in this section do not adhere precisely to these conventions. In the header listings contained in this section, beware of the following:

The single quotes required around character strings have been omitted.

Numerical values have not been right justified.

The third column in the listing denoting the variable type is additional information, not part of the FITS header itself.

4.1.1 Diode Response Files (DIO): <unique name>.R0H

Nonuniformities in diode responses for HRS detectors require science data to be normalized using data from the diode response files.

Format: Diode response data files contain a single group of normalization data with 512 entries corresponding to the 512 diodes of each HRS detector. Diode responses are stored in REAL*4 format.

Flags and Indicators: The diode response data file is selected on the basis of the DETECTOR keyword. Restrictions: The HRS calibration software will reject any inappropriately sized groups. The following listing shows a sample diode response image header.

4.1.2 Photocathode Response Files (PHC): < unique name>.R1H

Nonuniformities in the responses of the photocathodes of the HRS detectors require science data to be normalized using data from the photocathode response files.

Format: Photocathode response files contain multiple groups of responses. Each group contains the responses for a particular line position. Within the group, responses are ordered by equally spaced sample positions determined by the keywords SAMPBEG and SAMPOFF. Photocathode responses are stored as REAL*4 values.

Flags and Indicators: The photocathode response data file is selected on the basis of the GRATING keyword.

The following listing shows a sample image header from a photocathode response data file.

4.1.3 Vignetting Files (VIG): <unique name>.R2H

The removal of vignetting and wavelength-dependent photocathode variations is done using data from the vignetting files.

Format: Vignetting correction files contain multiple groups of responses. Each group contains the responses for a particular carrousel position and line position. Within the group, responses are ordered by equally spaced sample positions determined by the keywords SAMPBEG and SAMPOFF. Data in the vignetting correction data files are stored in REAL*4 format.

Flags and Indicators: The vignetting response data file is selected on the basis of the GRATING keyword.

4.1.4 Absolute Sensitivity Files (ABS): <unique name>.R3H

The absolute sensitivity scale files contain data that are used to perform HRS absolute flux calibration. These files are used in conjunction with the HRS wavelength net files that specify the wavelength net (grid) used for interpolation of absolute sensitivity scale values.

Format: Absolute sensitivity files contain two groups of data that correspond to the large and small apertures of the HRS. Because the HRS wavelength net files contain the wavelength net corresponding to these sensitivity values, it is not assumed that the spacing between wavelength values is uniform. Data in the absolute sensitivity files are stored in REAL*4 format.

Flags and Indicators: The absolute sensitivity data file is selected on the basis of the GRATING keyword.

Restrictions: The HRS calibration software will reject any inappropriately sized groups. The following listing shows a sample HRS absolute sensitivity file.

4.1.5 Wavelength Net Files (NET): <unique name>.R4H

The wavelength net files contain data that are used to perform HRS absolute flux calibration. These data provide the nonuniform interpolation net (grid) used to compute an absolute sensitivity scale from data in the HRS absolute sensitivity files.

Format: Wavelength net files contain two groups of data that correspond to the large and small apertures of the HRS. Because the HRS absolute sensitivity files contain the absolute sensitivities corresponding to the wavelength net values, these two sets of files have exactly the same structure. Data in the wavelength net files are stored in REAL*4 format.

Flags and Indicators: The wavelength net data file is selected on the basis of the GRATING keyword.

Restrictions: The HRS calibration software will reject any inappropriately sized groups. The following listing shows a sample HRS wavelength net file.

Format: Each entry defines the location of one blemish. Blemishes are defined by a rectangle region bordered by the lower and upper line position and smaller to larger sample position. The data quality flag that should be assigned to the calibrated spectra by calhrs is found in the column EPSILON.

Selection Scheme: Records are selected based on the detector used and the line and sample position of the observed spectrum.

Table 4-13 shows the structure of the HRS photocathode blemish location table.

4.2.14 HRS Background Count Rates Table: <unique name>.CZE

The FOS BLUE detector predicted mean background count rates are stored as a function of geomagnetic latitude and longitude. The header keywords, D1SCALE and D2SCALE, are multiplicative scale factors used to adjust the background count rate model to the appropriate HRS detector. D1SCALE adjusts to the HRS Side 1; D2SCALE adjusts to the HRS Side 2. The mean background count rate at the time and position of the observation is interpolated from this table and used as the background spectrum during calibration.

Format: Records of background count rates are organized by detector, geomagnetic latitude, and geomagnetic longitude.

Selection Scheme: All records and the header keywords that represent scaling factors are selected.

Table 4-14 shows the structure of the background count rates table, < unique name>.CZE, as a function of geomagnetic position.
