Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE)
Level 0 ZOOM Camera Image Data FITS files
February 23, 1994

1.0 Description of the Instrument

The Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE) was one of three ultraviolet telescopes on the ASTRO-1 payload which flew aboard the space shuttle Columbia during a nine day mission in December 1990 (December 2 through December 11). WUPPE is a 0.5m f/10 Cassegrain telescope and spectropolarimeter. It obtained simultaneous spectra and polarization measurements, with a spectral resolution of about 10A, from 1400 to 3200A. A set of halfwave plates at 6 different angles provided spectropolarimetric modulation with 10A resolution on point sources through apertures from 6 to 40 arcsec. A "Lyot" analyzer is used to provide 50-100A spectropolarimetric resolution on faint point targets and diffuse nebulae. The typical diffuse object aperture was 3x50 arcsec.

2.0 WUPPE1 Level 0 Zero Order Detector (ZOD) (ASTRO 1-01C):

Field identification, offsetting, focussing, and pointing trim were accomplished by relaying the zero-order image of the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE) spectrometer grating to a blue-sensitive zero-order detector (ZOD) camera. The ZOD was an intensified RCA 320x512 two-dimensional CCD array. The intensifier was an ITT 18 mm proximity-focussed channel intensifier with P-20 phosphor, quartz faceplate, and S-20 photocathode for blue-sensitivity. The array was uncooled and typically read out every second. There are three types of ZOD data; field, zoom and downfield images. No calibrations have been applied to the ZOD images and thus it is Level 0 data. The individual ZOD images are archived in FITS format. The field mode was used for identification and acquisition of the targets. Its size was 3.3 x 4.4 arcmin, 320 x 256 pixels using a 1-bit display. The zoom mode was used for fine pointing and focus. The size of the zoom image was 24 x 32 arcsec, 30 x 40 pixels using a 6-bit grey scale display. The downfield data is similar to the field data except it used the 6-bit grey scale display and was used to produce a more detailed picture of the field around the object of interest.

The ZOOM camera data were provided to the NSSDC in FITS files ordered by Object-ID and by Mission Elapsed Time (MET) day number. The ZOOM images by MET day number contain the entire dataset acquired during the Astro 1 mission. Each 12 hour time slice of data contains hundreds to thousands of zoom camera images. The ZOOM dataset, ordered by Object-ID, includes only the raw ZOOM images taken during observations of science targets.

3.0 WUPPE ZOOM Camera Data FITS File naming convention

There are 10 WUPPE raw zoom camera images in one level 0 raw zoom camera data FITS file (both by Object ID and by MET day number).

3.1 ZOOM FITS file names by Object ID

The files are named as follows:

WUPPE1_OBJECTID_PPPPPP_ZM_nnnn.FITS

where,

OBJECTID = The Mission Target List name. The names are common to the HUT, UIT and WUPPE instruments. The number of characters in OBJECT can vary from 3 to 8 characters. May be a mix of numbers and/or alphabetic information. May contain imbedded '-'s.

PPPPPP = The POINTING_ID is a 6 digit number representing the object identification number which was assigned during the ASTRO1 mission. Each shuttle pointing had a unique POINTING_ID number. There may be several pointings of a single object.

ZM = Denotes Level 0 ZOD ZOOM camera data.

nnnn = Starting ZOOM image number.

For example, FITS file "WUPPE1_BD284211_001014_ZM_0001.FITS" contains raw zoom images 1 through 10 that pertain to the 001014 observation of BD+284211. File "WUPPE1_BD284211_001014_ZM_0011.FITS" contains raw scans 11 through 20.

3.2 WUPPE ZOOM FITS file names by MET Day Number

FITS file name = WUPPE1_DAYyz_ZM_nnnn.FITS

where,

DAYyz = The mission elapsed time (MET) day number times 10 (eg. 00, 05, 10,... 80). Files are grouped into 12-hour periods for each DAYyz (MET time of y.z).

ZM = Denotes Level 0 ZOD ZOOM camera data.

nnnn = Starting ZOOM image number.

For example, FITS file "WUPPE1_DAY05_ZM_0001.FITS" contains raw images 1 through 10 from day 0.5. "WUPPE1_DAY05_ZM_0011.FITS" contains raw images 11 through 20 from day 0.5.

4.0 Description of WUPPE ZOOM Camera FITS files

The FITS files were written on a digital DECstation 5000/240 using DEC FORTRAN for Ultrix RISC Systems, running Ultrix 4.2 at the University of Wisconsin. The FITSIO package, version 3.2, written by William Pence at the Goddard Spaceflight Center, was used to generate the FITS files.

Each ZOOM FITS file is 40320 bytes in length (79 VMS blocks).

The set of basic header information includes the primary array keywords and keywords describing the instrument and data arrays and 12 keywords describing the telescope observational and engineering data for each of the 10 raw zoom camera images in the FITS file.

An example header of a FITS file is given below.

Each zoom image consists of 40x30 integer*2 words. The FITS file then contains 40x30x10 integer*2 words. If there were not enough zoom images to complete a 10 image FITS file, zero-filled data (a FILLER image) were written to the FITS file. In addition, if the data in the original 12 hour time slice file were so badly corrupted as to be unreadable, a FILLER image was written in its place.

See section 6.3 for (WUPPE1_DAY55_ZM_0201.FITS) an example of a file with FILLER images.

5.0 Software

The program "zoomfitsread.f" was written to verify the contents of the Level 0 Zoom Camera Image FITS files. It also uses the GSFC FITSIO software package. This program, along with other WUPPE1 fortran programs, is available from NDADS. IRAF (on a VMS machine) was also used to verify the Zoom Camera Image FITS files.
