PACS : AOT Testing
(Rodighiero)
 Testing of Astronomical Observing Templates (i.e. Observing Modes) for
optimizing the execution of observations of extragalactic surveys both in
Guaranteed Time and Open Time Key Programs
Screenshot detailing the coverage of
the COSMOS field as planned by
the PACS Extragalactic Probe (PEP)
Guaranteed Time Key Program
A scan mapping strategy with
perpendicular “cross-linked” scans
is adopted to homogeneously cover
the field and remove correlated
noise during data reduction

PACS : Instrument Simulator Testing
(Rodighiero)
 Instrument Simulator Testing activities included:
– Instrument Simulator Testing: step by step validation of the PACS Simulator
– Simulator applications: production of synthetic input skies to support the
preparation of Open Time Key Programs with the PACS simulator  example
of a deep extragalactic field without and with the effect of a lensing cluster
along the line of sight
100 m without lensing - 100 m with lensing

tests
 “Photometer Background” Pipeline Module Leadership : developing software for
modeling & removing telescope background from photometer bolometer timelines
 “Visualization Tools” Leadership : developing software for interactive visualization
and manipulation of bolometer timelines such as the Detector Timeline Explorer
 Pipeline Software Integration, Testing & Debugging : solving Software Problem
Reports (SPRs) and implementing Software Change Requests (SCRs) via a
centralized on-line reporting system as well as dedicated telecons and meetings
for pipeline End-To-End tests at SPIRE Data Centers & ESA sites

SPIRE : Detector Timeline Explorer
(Mainetti & Vaccari)
Detector Timeline Explorer : Main Window (left) & Zoom-In (right)
 The Detector Timeline Explorer is a Graphical User Interface allowing interactive
visualization and manipulation of bolometer timelines along the SPIRE pipeline
– Main window displays fluxes over full bolometer arrays at any chosen time
according to a color scale while a slider allows for browsing along the timeline
– Clicking on any given bolometer within the main window creates zoom-in
interactive Flux vs Time plots allowing a closer inspection of problem
bolometers and instrumental features and flagging for follow-up

SPIRE DP System Documentation & Testing
(Mainetti & Rodighiero & Vaccari)
SPIRE Quick Look
Analysis Graphical
User Interface :
allowing command-line
& interactive data
reduction & analysis,
currently based on the
JIDE GUI but now
moving toward using
the HIPE GUI
 Our contribution to the Herschel (& SPIRE) Data Processing (DP) System
(jointly developed by ESA and three instrument consortia) has spanned:
– Representing SPIRE within ESA-led Herschel DP Users Group, providing feedback on DP
system development and representing SPIRE at dedicated DP telecons & meetings
– Leading SPIRE DP Users Group & SPIRE Documentation Editorial Board, overseeing
development of and providing feedback on SPIRE DP system and its documentation and
arranging DP system training sessions for SPIRE team members
– Defining & testing JIDE & HIPE Graphical User Interfaces (the graphical front end
that will be presented to the general Herschel user) and ensuring they are user-friendly
