Overview[edit]

The RIMO, or Reduced Instrument Model is a FITS file containing selected instrument characteristics that are needed by users who work with the released data products. It is described in detail in The HFI and LFI RIMO ICD (ref). There will be two RIMOs, one for each instrument, which will follow the same overall structure, but will differ in the details. The type of data in the RIMO can be:

Parameter 
namely scalars to give properties such as a noise level or a representative beam FWHM
Table 
to give, e.g., filter transmission profiles or noise power spectra
Map 
namely 2-D "flat" maps, to give, e.g., the main beam shape

The different types of data are written into different BINTABLE extensions of the FITS file, and these are described below.



Map-level parameter data[edit]


The map-level data table contains the effective beam solid angle (total and out to different multiples of the beamFWHM) and noise information as follows:

FREQUENCY 
a 3-digit string giving the reference frequency in GHz, i.e., of the form 044 or 217
Omega_total
total beam solid angle in armin^2
Omega_1fwhm 
beam solid angle out to 1FWHM in arcmin^2
Omega_2fwhm 
beam solid angle out to 2FWHM in arcmin^2
FWHM_eff 
FWHM of a Gaussian beam having the same (total) solid angle, in sr. This is the best value for source flux determination
FWHM_gauss 
FWHM derived from best Gaussian fit to beam maps, in sr. This is the best value for source identification
NOISE 
This is the typical noise/valid observation sample as derived from an appropriate combination of the NETs of the valid detectors used in the map.

For the Omega columns, the 'DISP' (for dispersion) column gives an estimate of the spatial variation as a function of position on the sky. This is the variation induced by combining the scanning beam determined from the planet observations with the scanning strategy, as described in Detectors pointing & beam.

The BINTABLE extension has the following structure


Effective band transmission profiles[edit]


The effective filter bandpasses are given in different BINTABLE extensions. The extension is named BANDPASS_{name}, where name specified the frequency channel. In the case of the maps, the bandpasses are a weighted average of the bandpasses of the detectors that are used to build the map. For details see #planck2013-p03d. The bandpasses are given as 4-column tables containing:

WAVENUMBER 
the wavenumber in cm-1, conversion to GHz is accomplished by multiplying by [math]10^{-7}c[/math] [mks].
TRANSMISSION 
the transmission (normalized to 1 at the max for HFI and to have an integral of 1 for LFI)
ERROR 
the statistical [math]1-\sigma[/math] uncertainty for the transmission profile (not provided for LFI).
FLAG 
a flag indicating if the data point is an independent frequency data point (nominally the case), or an FTS instrument line shape (ILS)-interpolated data point. The frequency data has been over-sampled by a factor of ~10 to assist in CO component separation efforts #planck2013-p03a, #planck2013-p03d.

The number of rows will differ among the different extensions, but are the same, by construction, within each extension.


Beam Window Functions[edit]


Beam window functions and associated error descriptions are written into a BINTABLE for each detection unit, where detection unit consists of an auto or a cross product of one or two frequency maps or detset maps used in the likelihood. Here they are:

  • the 6 HFI frequency channels, producing 21 extensions
    • 100, 143, 217, 353, 545, 857
  • 26 detsets, producing 351 extensions; the detsets used are, by frequency channel:
    • 100-DS1, 100-DS2,
    • 143-DS1, 143-DS2, 143-5, 143-6, 143-7,
    • 217-DS1, 217-DS2, 217-1, 217-2, 217-3, 217-4,
    • 353-DS1, 353-DS2, 353-1, 353-2, 353-7, 353-8,
    • 545-1, 545-2, 545-4,
    • 857-1, 857-2, 857-3, 857-4

and the extension names are of the form BEAM_WF_U1XU2

where U1 and U2 are one (possibly the same) detection unit from the list above. Each extension contains the columns:

  • NOMINAL (Real*4) with the window function proper,
  • EIGEN_n (Real*4, n=1-5), with the error modes.

and the following keywords

  • NUMVECT (Integer) specified the number of eigenmode vectors, and
  • LMIN and LMAX (Integer) which give the length of nominal vector
  • LMIN_EM and LMAX_EM (Integer) that give the range of the valid samples of the eigenmode vectors. Here LMAX_EM is always less than or equal to LMAX, and the values between LMAX_EM+1 and LMAX is set to NaN


Beam Correlation Matrix[edit]


Two of these matrices are given, in two IMAGE extensions

  • CORREL_FREQ, for the frequency channels (21 units),
  • CORREL_DETS for the detsets (351 units).

Each is a symmetric matrix with 1-valued diagonal, made of NBEAMS*NBEAMS blocks, each block being NMODES*NMODES in size. Each row- (and column-) block entry relates to the B(l) model whose name is indicated in ROW_U1XU2 keywords, and the corresponding eigenmodes are stored in a HDU of the same name.
