NIRI System Verification Modes

Here we describe the key modes of NIRI to be tested as part of System Verification (SV). The pool from which verification observations will be drawn is described in the SV plan. This plan contains details of individual observations and describes other aspects of the system which will be tested.

System Verification with NIRI is being co-ordinated by Joe Jensen, to whom any questions should be addressed.

NIRI has six SV modes:

  1. Low background imaging <2.5µm
  2. High background imaging >2.5µm
  3. Wide field imaging: all filters
  4. Grism spectroscopy: 1-5.5µm
  5. Coronagraphy (Not yet offered)
  6. Polarimetry: 1-2.5µm (Not yet offered)
