2 Vacuum Calibration Chamber
GERB Ground Calibration Overview and Status Vacuum Calibration Chamber Cryogenically pumped high vacuum chamber capable of 10-9 Torr. Earth Orbital Calibration Facility Cleanroom (~60m3) maintained to better than class G (equivalent - class ISO6, 1000) and controlled to 2% relative humidity and 1C. © Imperial College London

5 How is the instrument modeled?
GERB Ground Calibration Overview and Status How is the instrument modeled? Designed to be linear with respect to incoming power. where and This is tested during calibration. © Imperial College London

6 What are the instrument gains?
GERB Ground Calibration Overview and Status What are the instrument gains? We need to measure gains in both channels over all pixels, And since LF(off) ~ 0, © Imperial College London

7 How is the instrument used?
GERB Ground Calibration Overview and Status How is the instrument used? Differences measured to avoid external offset and increase instrument flexibility. A full characterization of the IBB source is important for GERB’s accuracy. Where is GERB ‘looking’? Need and accurate picture of the influence of GERBs optics on the field of view. Crucial to Geolocation of observations. © Imperial College London

8 Summary of Calibration Aims Check Instrument Linearity.
GERB Ground Calibration Overview and Status Summary of Calibration Aims Check Instrument Linearity. Produce Gains for TOT and SW channels. Also measure T, filter response and use these three measurements to determine B, Gain Ratio = A, Long Wave Correction Factor = Characterize IBB Source for all pixels. Measure Instrument FOV Response (PSF, cross talk.) Perform Unit Level Spectral Response Spot Checks. Linearity Gsw GTOT IBB FOV R s (%) 0.05 0.53 0.38 0.2 0.1 PP © Imperial College London
