Observation Modes
5
Performance
Laboratory tests
  • Image quality
  • Pupil viewer mode
  • Detector characterization

First engineering observation in 12/3/2007
  • Test all observation modes
  • Alignment with the telescope
  • Find out any kinds of bugs

6
Performance
  • Optics A pinhole image was obtained as
    simulated.
  • Detector still high readout noise (30 e-) ?
    Use cold ASIC?
  • Coronagraph laboratory tests are planned.
  • DI/PDI/SDI modes worked

7
User Interface
  • Abstract commands
  • GUIs
  • QL, Data analysis package

8
Future Upgrade
PIAA coronagraph (Olivier)
  • proven to work in the laboratory
  • will be implemented to HiCIAO as the first step
    upgrade

9
Future Upgrade
10
Schedule
We are expecting that the instrument will be
ready for science observations by next winter

User Interface
  • IRAF based QL using external FFT libraries
  • Create semi-publishable level images on the site

Image analysis simulation in the SDI mode
Reduction work flow
  • Sky/Dark subtraction. Flat-fielding, Bad pixel
    removal, Distortion correction (if necessary)
  • Correction for each sub-frame (PDI SDI)
  • translate (sub-pixel accuracy FFT shift)
  • relative field position (optional)
  • compensate effect of atmospheric dispersion (if
    necessary)
  • scale (very high precision iterative FFT
    scaling)
  • rotate (very high precision iterative FFT
    rotation) (if necessary)
  • Sub-field intensity scaling (depending on
    filter/spectrum)
  • Sub-field pairs subtraction
