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.



Detector-level parameter data[edit]

There are no detector-level products in the first release,

so there will be no detector-level parameters in the accompanying RIMO.


The detector parameter data are given in the form of a table giving the parameter values for each detector. The table columns are (with the column names in parentheses):

DETECTOR 
These are the detector names. For HFI these will be of the form 217-3 for SWBs or 100-3b for PSBs, and for LFI they will have the form 27M or 18S. There are 52 HFI detectors and 22 LFI detectors.
Focal plane geometry parameters - PHI_UV, THETA_UV, and PSI_UV 
These parameters give the geometry of the focal plane, or the positions of the detectors in the focal plane. The angles that give the rotation of the beam pattern from a fiducial orientation (forward beam direction (z-axis) pointing along the telescope line of sight, with y-axis aligned with the nominal scan direction) to their positions in the focal plane. The fiducial position is that given by the Star Tracker. All angles are in radians.
Polarization parameters - PSI_POL, EPSILON 
These are the direction of maximum polarization, defined with the beam in the fiducial orientation described above, that is, before rotation onto the detector position, and the cross-polarization contamination (or leakage).
Beam parameters - FWHM, ELLIPTICITY, POSANG 
These are the mean FWHM of the scanning beam (arcmin TBC), the beam ellipticity (no units), and the position angle of the beam major axis. The scanning beam is that recovered from the observation of bright planets.
Noise parameters - NET_TOT, NET_WHT, F_KNEE, ALPHA 
Two NETs are given: one determined from the total noise (rms of the noise timeline) and one determined from the white noise level of the noise spectrum. The F_KNEE and ALPHA parameters are the frequency where the 1/f noise component meets the white noise level, and the slope of the former. The NETs are in units of Kcmb or MJy/sr * sqrt(s).

The basic structure of the BINTABLE extension is as follows:

Map-level parameter data[edit]

The map-level data table contains the beam solid angle (total and out to different FWHM) 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
Ometa_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 TBD: noise/observation sample or …

For the Omega columns, the 'DISP' column gives an estimate of the spatial variation as a function of position on the sky.

The BINTABLE extension has the following structure

TABLE TO BE ADDED

Single detector and combined bandpasses[edit]

There are no detector-level products in the first release,

so there will be no detector-level badnpasses in the accompanying RIMO, but only the combined bandpasses


The effective filter bandpasses are given in different BINTABLE extensions. The extension is named BANDPASS_{name}, where name specified the detector or the map. 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 ref to 03d HFI_Spectral Band. 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 spectra (not provided for LFI).
FLAG 
a flag indicating if the data point is an independant 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 ref to 03d (HFI Spec Resp) and 03a (HFI CO).

Detector noise spectra[edit]

There are no detector-level products in the first release,

so there will be no detector noise spectra in the accompanying RIMO.


The noise power spectra are the result of the detnoise pipeline.

HFI
these are the ring noise spectra averaged for rings NN to MM in order to give a representative spectrum. The spectra of all 50 valid bolometers are given in a single table.
LFI 
TBW

The keyword F_NYQ gives the Nyquist frequency, and can be used together with the number of points in the spectrum to reconstruct the frequency scale. The BINTABLE has the following structure:

Beam Window Functions[edit]

Beam window functions and associated error descriptions are given 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
  • 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


Each extension contains:

  • a NOMINAL column (mandatory) with the window function proper,
  • a BIAS column (optional),
  • a number of EIGEN_n vectors, 5 for Release 1) of error modes.
  • a keyword NUMVECT (Integer) specified the number of eigenmode vectors, and
  • the keyword NAXIS2 gives the length of each vector

An example of the FITS header is:

Beam Window Function Uncertainty Correlation Matrix[edit]

Two of these matrices are given, one for the frequency channels (21x21) and one for the detsets (351x351). 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* keywords below, and the corresponding eigenmodes are stored in a HDU of the same name. The header is of the form:
