# CTIO Telescope, Filter, and Detector Database 14 Aug 1998 SRH. # # Telescope data: # aperture - From drawings in CTIO facilities manual # scale - From drawings in CTIO facilities manual and updates # transmission - Corrects for central obstruction based on drawings # # OPTICAL # ------- # Filter data: # These were just copied from kpno.dat for consistancy # # Detector data: # # CTIO ccds # readnoise - from PFCCD manual by ARW # dark - from PFCCD manual by ARW # pixel size - from PFCCD manual by ARW # DQE - adjusted to give the counts for U=B=V=R=I=20 star # at the 4.0-m PF tabulated in the PFCCD manual by ARW # # BTC - from BTC web page # # YaleO - inspired guess based on QE curve on web page # # IR # -- # # Filter data: # There is a descrepancy between the count rates in the CIRIM manual # and the values given for the 4m f/14 tip-tilt system such that # values scaled by aperture from the 1.5-m OVERESTIMATE object counts # with the 4m f/14 by a large factor. There is a smaller descrepancy # scaling counts between the 1.5-m f/8 and 4.0-m f/8. Rob Probst is # investigating. For the time being I have made two seperate sets of # filter data. # # J,H,Ks,K: for 1.5m f/8. roughtly OK for other non T-T # Jtt,Htt,Kstt,Ktt: for 4.0m f/14 # # Detector data: # CIRIM # readnoise - from CIRIM manual # dark - from CIRIM manual # pixel size - Adjusted to give correct "/pix on 4.0-m f/14 # DQE - used IRIM values from kpno.dat (per D. Joyce) # # CCOB # readnoise - from CCOB manual # dark - from CCOB manual # pixel size - Adjusted to give correct "/pix on 4.0-m f/14 # DQE - tweaked to give "correct" counts with 4m f/14 # using Jtt,Htt,Kstt & Ktt # # Revised 03 Sept 1998 SRH # # 1) New measuremenst by Probst/Blum suggest that the standard filter # entries do reproduce observed count rates with the 4mf14 tip-tilt # Apparently the numbers in the manual where wrong. Commented out # special tt entries pending final confirmation # # 2) Revised DQE for CTIO CCD's to reproduce new (lower) 4mpf count rates # provided by ARW for BVRI. Apparently Moses wrote the wrong numbers on his # stone tablets. Also adjusted andicam_opt entry since this is just based # on scaling by the relative QE's of the chips. # # 3) For U adjusted to give correct numbers at 0.9-m (no corrector) and # added transmission(u) entry to 4mpf to correct for PF corrector # transmission. # # 4) inserted transmission(andycam_opt) for 1.0-m to "do this right" # # 3) Included extinction for IR filters per Dick Joyce's numbers for KPNO # With the idea that we should try to be consistant. # # Revised 21 Sept 2006 FV # # Added Mosaic z' based on estimated values from Arjun Dey. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Telescope data: # aperture diameter in meters, scale in arcsec/mm, and transmission. telescope = "4mpf" aperture = 3.960 scale = 18.0 transmission = 0.841 transmission(U) = 0.497 telescope = "4mf8" aperture = 3.960 scale = 6.56 transmission = 0.841 telescope = "4mf14" aperture = 3.960 scale = 3.4052 transmission = 0.841 # transmission = 0.5172 telescope = "1.5mf8" aperture = 1.570 scale = 18.1 transmission = 0.766 telescope = "1.5mf13.5" aperture = 1.570 scale = 10.0 transmission = 0.766 telescope = "1m" aperture = 1.020 scale = 19.6 transmission = 0.727 transmission(andicam_opt) = 0.65 telescope = "0.9m" aperture = 0.910 scale = 16.5 transmission = 0.872 telescope = "Schmidt" aperture = 0.600 scale = 96.6 transmission = 0.870 telescope = "1.3m" aperture = 1.3 scale = 11.8 transmission = 0.727 transmission(andicam_opt) = 0.65 transmission(andicam_ir) = 0.80 end # Filter data: # Magnitude corresponding to photon count rate. # Photons/second/stellar-image for a 1-m telescope at 1 airmass. # Sky magnitudes per sq arc sec: # sky = sky0 + sky1 * phase + sky2 * phase**2 (phase=0-14) filter = "U" extinction = 0.55 mag = 20 star = 8.0 sky0 = 22.0 sky1 = -0.2666 sky2 = -.00760 filter = "B" extinction = 0.25 mag = 20 star = 34.5 sky0 = 22.7 sky1 = -0.0998 sky2 = -0.00953 filter = "V" extinction = 0.14 mag = 20 star = 36.2 sky0 = 21.8 sky1 = -0.0153 sky2 = -0.00838 filter = "R" extinction = 0.10 mag = 20 star = 36.8 sky0 = 20.9 sky1 = -0.0211 sky2 = -0.00364 filter = "I" extinction = 0.05 mag = 20 star = 26.7 sky0 = 19.9 sky1 = -0.0086 sky2 = -0.00311 filter = "z" extinction = 0.03 mag = 20 star = 24.0 sky0 = 17.98 sky1 = 0. sky2 = 0. filter = "J" extinction = 0.08 mag = 20 star = 28.093 sky0 = 16.4053 sky1 = 0. sky2 = 0. filter = "H" extinction = 0.04 mag = 20 star = 19.58 sky0 = 14.4598 sky1 = 0. sky2 = 0. filter = "K" extinction = 0.07 mag = 20 star = 14.487 sky0 = 12.7576 sky1 = 0. sky2 = 0. filter = "Ks" extinction = 0.05 mag = 20 star = 10.843 sky0 = 13.4167 sky1 = 0. sky2 = 0. # No longer needed ? 3 sept 98 SRH # #filter = "Jtt" # extinction = 0.0 # mag = 20 # star = 16.1541 # sky0 = 14.7273 # sky1 = 0. # sky2 = 0. # #filter = "Htt" # extinction = 0.0 # mag = 20 # star = 12.6375 # sky0 = 13.6591 # sky1 = 0. # sky2 = 0. # #filter = "Ktt" # extinction = 0.0 # mag = 20 # star = 9.05010 # sky0 = 11.8522 # sky1 = 0. # sky2 = 0. # #filter = "Kstt" # extinction = 0.0 # mag = 20 # star = 6.77367 # sky0 = 12.5113 # sky1 = 0. # sky2 = 0. end # Detector information: # rdnoise in photons, dark rate in photons per second, pixel size in microns, # and the effective DQE for each filter. detector = "MOSAIC2" rdnoise = 5.0 dark = 0.0015 pixsize = 15 U = 0.48 B = 0.68 V = 0.81 R = 0.86 I = 0.63 I = 0.40 detector = "site2k" rdnoise = 4.0 dark = 0.0008 pixsize = 24 U = 0.48047 B = 0.52528 V = 0.72891 R = 0.78299 I = 0.58227 detector = "stis2k" rdnoise = 4.0 dark = 0.0008 pixsize = 21 U = 0.18927 B = 0.1978 V = 0.31423 R = 0.4121 I = 0.36914 detector = "tek1k" rdnoise = 4.0 dark = 0.0008 pixsize = 24 U = 0.16590 B = 0.39561 V = 0.7331 R = 0.78299 I = 0.56801 detector = "btc" # Values for Chip 3, # Chip 1 has ~1.16x, Chip 2 0.72x and Chip 4 1.08x this sensitivity at B # with similar factors for all wavelengths rdnoise = 5.5 dark = 0.0008 pixsize = 24 U = 0.3150 B = 0.3956 V = 0.6305 R = 0.6285 I = 0.4550 detector = "andicam_opt" rdnoise = 4.0 dark = 0.0008 pixsize = 15 U = 0.12189 B = 0.60109 V = 0.87467 R = 0.8874 I = 0.7166 detector = "andicam_ir" rdnoise = 11 dark = 0.5 pixsize = 18.5 J = 0.23 H = 0.33 K = 0.31 detector = "cirim" rdnoise = 37 dark = 0.3 pixsize = 64.09 J = 0.23 H = 0.33 K = 0.31 Ks = 0.38 # Jtt = 0.23 # Htt = 0.33 # Ktt = 0.31 # Kstt = 0.38 detector = "ccob" rdnoise = 70 dark = 0.2 pixsize = 27 J = 0.21 H = 0.31 K = 0.24 Ks = 0.23 # Jtt = 0.16898 # Htt = 0.228 # Ktt = 0.2429 # Kstt = 0.27985
