The calibrations available during Cycle 13 are based on four distinct calibration plans: SMOV, Cycle 10 interim calibration plan, and Cycle 11and 12 routine calibration plans. Although the SMOV was intended to demonstrate that the instrument is functioning as expected, several programs carried out the recalibration of some aspects of the instrument. The Cycle 10 interim calibration plan was intended to enable the most commonly used science modes of the instrument (i.e. Imaging, and grism spectroscopy). Finally, the Cycle 11and 12 routine calibration plans were aimed at completing previous programs in order to reach the goals summarized in Table 13.1:. Additional information on the Cycle 10 and 11 calibration plans can be found in the Instrument Science Reports (NICMOS ISR-2002-002
, and 003
) posted on the STScI NICMOS instrument web page. In Table 13.2: we list the individual programs with their corresponding ID numbers. The reader may find further details via the STScI web page. We also include some of the calibration-related SMOV programs.
