Abstract: |
Data analysis for the SIRTF GOODS Legacy Project must be able to achieve a level of calibration noise well below a part in 10,000. To achieve such a high level of fidelity, a form of self-calibration may be required in which the sky intensity and the instrumental effects are derived simultaneously. Two methods being investigated are a least squares approach based on the work of Fixsen and Arendt at GSFC, and an iterative method. Both methods have been applied to derive the sky, flat field, and offset from simulated data for instruments to be flown on SIRTF; the results will be discussed. |
