12.18 Cycle 30 Calibration Program

«Previous Next»

The Cycle 30 calibration plans for COS continue the routine calibration and monitoring programs performed in previous Cycles. Brief descriptions of the programs are listed in Table 12.2. The full calibration plan for Cycle 30 is listed in Table 12.24. Two contingency programs introduced in Cycle 28 are included in this cycle as well. The program COS FUV Change in Spectroscopic Sensitivity Trends is a supplement to the COS FUV Spectroscopic Sensitivity Monitor and is activated when the time-dependent sensitivity appears to be changing on short timescales. The COS FUV Characterization of Modal Gain When Changing High Voltage program is activated when the high voltage of the FUV detector is changed.

If your program requires calibrations beyond those described here, then you should explicitly include this calibration in your Phase I proposal.
