Absolute Flux Calibrations for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
ADVANCES IN OPTICAL AND MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR TELESCOPES AND INSTRUMENTATION V(2022)
摘要
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's (Roman) Coronagraph Instrument is a technology demonstration equipped to achieve flux contrast levels of up to 10(-9). This precision depends upon the quality of observations and their resultant on-sky corrections via an absolute flux calibration (AFC). Our plan utilizes 10 dim and 4 bright standard photometric calibrator stars from Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) CAL-SPEC catalog to yield a final AFC error of 1.94% and total observation time of similar to 22 minutes. Percent error accounts for systematic uncertainties (filters, upstream optics, quantum efficiency) in Roman component instrumentation along with shot noise for a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 500.
