GPI Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I observe a target fainter than I magnitude 9 by using a nearby bright star as the AO star?

A: No, the basic principle with the GPI AO system is that the science target IS the AO star, thus the science field is centered on the guide star.

Q: Can I observe close similar magnitude binaries?

A: No,  the AO system is designed such that any close similar magnitude binary would have a strong adverse impact on the AO performance, and possibly not even allow the closing of the AO loop.

Q: What is the airmass limit of the instrument as the OCDD (pg 39) says there's a 50-deg zenith limit?

A: The contrast curves should be generally good to about 30 degrees off zenith - there are no separate models for the 50 degree case. To first order, contrast would scale up as airmass ^12/5, but the performance is NOT guaranteed for Zenith distances larger than 50 degrees. Any proposal applying for Zenith distances larger than 50 degrees should take contact with the instrument scientist previous to submitting the proposal. The ADC is specified to work up to ZD=50 and thus both OIWFS performance is not guaranteed AND the centering of the science object on the coronographic mask will be adversely affected for large Zenith angles. 

Q: What is the AO Guide Star magnitude limit of the instrument?

Q: Can I observe targets that are Imag > 9.0 in better-than-median seeing?

A: Testing has shown that with slower camera rates it will work at decreased performance at I=9+. However, it is unlikely that the performance would improve in IQ20 conditions, because GPI isn't designed to run slowly to take advantage of slow seeing. Further, performance at I=9+ would be very sensitive to the read noise on the wavefront sensor, and is thus a complex undertaking. One should always refer to the "Instrument Performance pages" for the latest updates to the limiting magnitudes. 

Q: Do I need PSF stars for Polarization observations? 

A: In the polarization mode you don't need to observe PSF reference stars, because the two orthogonal polarizations essentially serve as each other's PSFs, though one can contemplate using some other form of PSF subtraction if you want to obtain a total intensity image as a followup characterization observation. 

Q: Can I do dithering?

A: The only dithering possible is going off to take sky frames (for K1 and K2 bands) in open loop. There is NO capability to dither on the detector with closed OIWFS loops.  

Q:Can GPI keep the sky fixed on the detector?

A:NO, the masks in the instrument are fixed orientation and optimized with respect to a fixed Cassegrain angle. With the Cassegrain angle always fixed (and not adjustable) it means that the sky will always rotate around the detector optical axis determined by the OIWFS axis.   

Q:Can I mix different observing modes in the same observation?

A:NO, each observing mode requires its own set of internal calibrations and thus each observing mode setup requires its own acquisition. Even a change of filter is its own observing mode so no mixing of filters in the same observation.

Call for Campaign Science Proposals

This page is also available as a pdf document.

The Gemini Observatory is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for GPI Campaign Science. GPI is a technologically advanced instrument designed specifically for obtaining images and low-resolution spectra of faint objects and/or features very near to bright objects. While GPI’s primary science goal is the detection and characterization of exoplanets, its high contrast capabilities will allow significant scientific advances in the areas such as circumstellar disks, stellar evolution (mass transfer), fundamental stellar astrophysics (binaries) and solar system objects.

GPI is expected to be available for science use in Semester 2012B.

Proposals

GPI Campaign proposals should embrace a large, scientifically compelling, and statistically significant investigation in the chosen science area that cannot be achieved through the standard proposal mechanism. Gemini will choose the most scientifically compelling proposal or proposals for scheduling.

As GPI will require median or better observing conditions to operate effectively, all successful programs will be executed in queue mode. However, the Observatory encourages successful science teams to plan on spending significant time in Chile during the commissioning and early science period, so that they can gain a full understanding of GPI’s performance.

We will consider programs that request from 200 to 1000 queue hours of telescope time, spread over a maximum of six semesters. (The GSC has recommended that the total allocation for GPI Campaign Science programs not exceed 1400 hours; the Board will approve the final allocation following proposal review.) A maximum of 180 campaign hours per semester will be scheduled as science ranking band 1. Proposers may request time to be scheduled in band 2.

The standard proprietary period for data is 18 months after acquisition of individual observations. Proposals may request and justify a longer proprietary period for specific campaign observations.

Proposals should address any necessary precursor or followup observations needed to accomplish the science goals of the program and describe how these observations will be obtained. Allocation through the Campaign will be for use of GPI alone.

Collaboration of teams from across the Gemini partnership is encouraged, and partner participation is a criterion by which campaign proposals will be evaluated.

Proposals must include:

  • a discussion of the primary scientific goals of the project;
  • a description of the experimental design, including sample selection, use of GPI, scheduling requirements, calibration, etc.;
  • a statement of the time requested by semester and by science ranking band;
  • a description of data products compatible with the international virtual observatory to be delivered, and the timeline for their delivery;
  • a management plan that describes staffing and resources available to complete the science program. The management plan must also describe
    • the expected contributions of each participant;
    • data management procedures, including access to data within the team;
    • who is responsible for submitting progress reports and final reports;
    • the process for redirecting the research agenda as discoveries are made;
    • the mechanism for routine communication among research team members.

The scientific justification of the proposal, including relevant figures and captions, is limited to 5 pages. The experimental design, including figures and captions, is limited to 6 pages. The required management plan is limited to 3 pages.  There is no page limit on references or target lists.

Proposals should be submitted via email to Gemini Deputy Director/Head of Science, Nancy Levenson, nlevenson at gemini.edu by 5:00PM HST on March 31, 2011 (03:00 GMT on April 1, 2011).

The Instrument

Details about the instrument and its expected performance are available in a separate document , and on the Gemini website. Please see the instruments section of the Gemini website, and current updates on GPI can be found at the external instrument site. Successful campaign proposers will be allowed to request minor adjustments to target lists and exposure times in light of actual on-sky performance of GPI.  Gemini will be responsible for evaluating and approving these changes.

Research Collaboration Agreement

Each successful GPI Campaign Project will require a “Research Collaboration Agreement” signed by all members of the team before the campaign starts and submitted to the Gemini Deputy Director/Head of Science. The requirements of this agreement are described in the separate document: Policies for GPI Campaign Projects.  The agreement should not be submitted with campaign proposals.

Program Review

Each successful GPI Campaign Project is to submit annual progress reports to the Gemini Director. These reports should contain (at a minimum) a summary of the observing time used thus far, comments on the quality of the data and whether the data quality is sufficient to meet the scientific goals of the program, a summary of the activities of each team member, the status of reduction of the data, and detailed plans for the next year of the project. The report should also indicate any preliminary science results arising from the project. Gemini and the GSC will assess these reports to determine if continuing campaign observations are warranted.

Early Science (SV) Call for Proposals

The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) commissioning activities started in November 2013 and continue during the first semester of 2014. The commissioning is expected to be completed during the 2014B semester. Therefore, we invite the Gemini community to propose Early Science (ES) programs for GPI. Approximately six nights are available in April during the 2014A semester for this ES call.

Proposal submissions are due FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28th, 2014, 23:59 UT .

The Early Science is way for the Gemini Community to get an early access to the instrument before it is offered in the 2014B semester. It is intended to be "end-to-end" testing, verifying the readiness of the entire system from observation preparation to data reduction. (The current version of the GPI IDL pipeline and data reduction package is now available from the instrument build team.) ES is also intended to exercise the instrument with a variety of observing programs and demonstrate to the community, through interesting and challenging science programs, the unique capabilities of GPI on Gemini South.

Commissioning is not yet complete, so performance information is preliminary and may not represent the final capability of GPI. All ES programs are undertaken in shared-risk mode. Updates will be provided as available on the GPI Status and Availability page, and notifications will be sent to the gpinews@gemini.edu mailing list, which is open to new subscribers.

Early Science proposals will be evaluated by the Gemini GPI Science Team including members from the Gemini Science and Technology Advisory Committee. Recommended programs will be forwarded to the Gemini Director for approval. Selection of ES programs will be done to ensure a wide range of types of target and observing modes. The different types of targets and approximate allocation times are given below. The allocated hours are notional only and will vary based on the programs selected. The proposed target observations must use the GPI Observing modes currently offered.

Available Observing Modes and approximate allocation times 
Observing Mode Allocated  science time
Coronography Y, J, H, K1 and K2 (IQ70CC50) 10 hours
Polarization Y, J, H, K1 and K2 (IQ70CC50) 10 hours
Direct Imaging or Polarization of Extended sources (i.e. any non-point source)  (IQ70CC50) 5 hours
Direct Imaging or Polarization with no accurate photometry needed (IQ85CC70) 10 hours
Non-sidereal(1) < 5 hours

(1) Observations of non-sidereal targets have been very limited to-date, so success of programs in this mode is uncertain.

The approved Early Science Principal Investigators will be responsible for providing written, in-depth assessments of ES observations within two months of data acquisition. The data obtained during ES will be made available to the international Gemini community after a two-month proprietary period, and information from the assessments of the ES teams will be published on the Gemini web pages. PIs of approved programs are strongly encouraged to provide manuscripts of results to Gemini in advance of publication, especially to allow staff to review technical performance of the instrument. Community participation will help to ensure that GPI is a success when the system is in regular use.

GPI is an extreme adaptive-optics imaging polarimeter/integral-field spectrometer, which will provide diffraction-limited data between 0.9 and 2.4 microns. The system will provide contrast ratios of 10^6 on companions at separations of 0.2-1 arcsecond in a 1-2 hour observation. The science instrument will provide spectroscopy or dual-beam polarimetry of any object in the field of view. Bright natural guide stars (I<9 mag) are required for optimal performance of the GPI adaptive optics system. GPI will be capable of detecting point sources down to H = 23 mag., with ≥ 5-sigma, in 1 hour (absent photon noise from a bright companion). For more information on achievable contrast, see the Contrast Page.

CONSTRAINTS

1. Target visibility: We expect to observe ES programs between April 20, 2014 and April 26, 2014. Therefore the targets should have RAs between 08 hours and 19 hours and Declinations between +10 degrees and -70 degrees (elevation > 45 degrees). Note that GPI OIWFS reaches its specifications for Zenith angles <30 degrees and it will work down to <50 degrees but with limited performance.

2. OIWFS Guide stars: GPI uses the science target for its AO correction and thus the science target must have a V magnitude brighter than 9 and not be extended objects to achieve the full expected Strehl.

3. Observing conditions constraints: The following constraints are allowed:

  • Image Quality(2): 70%-ile or 85%-ile.
  • Sky Transparency (cloud cover): photometric (50%-ile).
  • Sky Background: Any.
  • Sky Transparency (Water vapor content): Any.

(2) Reasonable corrections are possible under poorer image quality conditions (up to 1" natural seeing or IQ=85%-ile). Proposers that do not require high Strehl limited images are encouraged to submit targets for these conditions. Details about the contrast and Strehl ratios that could be achieved with GPI for different seeing conditions can be found in the GPI Strehl web page.

4. Target Duplication: The GPI Science Campaign target list is available here and any target duplication between the Campaign and any proposed target is subject to the Target Duplication Policy for GPI, which is available here.

GUIDELINES

To submit a program, use the 2014A Phase I tool and include observing constraints, target lists, and GPI Meta Mode configuration information. Be sure to select "Other Proposal Types" and "System Verification" in the Proposal Class and the Proposal Type fields respectively, inside the Scheduling and Time Request section of the Phase I Tool.

The overheads associated with a GPI science observation can be estimated using the information given in the Sensitivity and Overheads web page. Science time requests should include these overheads.

PHASE I ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Scientific justification must be less than 1000 words. The technical justification should be sufficiently complete within its 1000 word limit that program feasibility can be assessed easily. A statement of data reduction plans must also be included in the technical justification. Proposers may use other data reduction tools in addition to the GPI IDL package. Selection for ES is based in part on the ability of the proposers to reduce the data and return feedback within a reasonable time.

By submitting an ES program the proposers agree to the following:

  • There is no guarantee that the program will be observed.
  • The proprietary period for ES data is two months.
  • The PI will provide reduced data to Gemini for public release within two months of the completion ES program.

The GPI astronomers will assist PIs of the successfully accepted programs to complete the Phase II.

GPIES Campaign

Gemini Planet Imager Extra Solar Survey 

The GPIES Campaign is the winning proposal in the CfP for Campaign observations with GPI. It was awarded 890h over six semesters starting in 2014B and concluded in semester 2018B.

GPIES Campaign Executive summary

The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) was built as a survey instrument to directly detect planets and image debris disks. Our survey will use GPI to produce the first-ever robust census of giant planet populations in the 5-50 AU range, allowing us to

  1. formation pathways of Jovian planets
  2. early dynamical evolution of systems, including migration mechanisms and the interaction with disks and belts of debris
  3. gap between Jupiter and the brown dwarfs with the first examples of cool planetary atmospheres.

The only way to achieve robust and reliable statistical results is with a single coherent survey, with uniform and well-articulated selection criteria. We will observe 600 stars spanning spectral types A-M. We will use published young association catalogs and a proprietary list – the result of thousands of hours of telescope observations in preparation for GPI—that adds several hundred new young (<100 Myr, <75 and adolescent (<300 Myr, <35 stars. The latter, closer than the known young associations, allow our survey to probe the 5 AU ice line. Monte Carlo simulations of populations around these stars allow us to optimize the survey strategy for maximum statistical yield. The range of separations studied by GPI is completely inaccessible to Doppler and transit techniques (even with Kepler—a new window into planet formation.

this survey will discover approximately 50 increasing the number of images by an order of magnitude, enough for statistical investigation. The survey will deliver:

  1. A catalog of —the principal legacy of this campaign—released for follow-up to the Gemini community within 18 months of observation
  2. For a subset of 10 planets, a library of high-SNR GPI spectra at all 5 bands to calibrate temperature and gravity indicators
  3. For each planet, estimated effective temperatures and luminosities from GPI spectrophotometry, and semi-major axis estimates from orbital motion
  4. Empirical measurements of the number of young planets as a function of mass, semi-major axis, and stellar mass with the same precision as Doppler giant-planet surveys
  5. An estimated eccentricity distribution of a subset of planets sufficient to distinguish different dynamical evolutionary states at the 3-5 sigma level
  6. 6. Snapshot images of those stars in the survey predicted to have detectable debris disks
  7. High-SNR images of all debris disks showing planet-induced structure
  8. An automated data pipeline to process images and recover calibrated astrometry and photometry
  9. A public catalog containing all reduced images, recovered planetary properties, and detection limits

The large sample will for the first time match the statistical power of extant studies of planets using indirect techniques. GPI spectroscopy will reveal atmospheric conditions and thermal history, thereby calibrating atmosphere and accretion models. The statistical properties of the distributions will arbitrate between various formation and migration scenarios.

Letters of Intent for Campaign Science Proposals

Update: Titles, PIs, and PI contact information for the submitted letters of intent are available.  We encourage the development of collaborative campaign programs that will yield significant scientific results and remind proposers that participation across the Gemini Partnership is a criterion by which proposals will be evaluated.

This page is also available as a pdf document.

GPI Campaign proposals are expected to embrace a large, scientifically compelling and statistically significant investigation in the chosen science area. While GPI's primary science goal is the detection and characterization of exoplanets, its high contrast capabilities will allow significant scientific advances in such areas as circumstellar disks, stellar evolution and mass transfer, fundamental stellar astrophysics including binaries, and Solar System objects. All areas are open to campaign science proposals. Collaboration of teams from across the Gemini partnership is encouraged, and partner participation is a criterion by which campaign proposals will be evaluated.

Gemini will select the scientifically compelling proposal or proposals for scheduling. We anticipate considering programs that request from 200 to 1200 queue hours of telescope time, but this does not strictly limit the amount of time that letters of intent may suggest.

Prospective GPI Campaign Projects should submit a Letter of Intent to the Gemini Deputy Director/Head of Science by January 20, 2011. Letters should include this information:

  • Title of Project
  • Principal Investigator with full name of institution and contact information (phone and email)
  • Co-Investigators with full names of institutions
  • Broad scientific goals of the program
  • An estimate of the total amount of telescope time that will be requested and the number of semesters over which the project will run
  • A brief justification for the required time, not to exceed three pages

The primary purpose of this Letter is to give the Gemini Science Committee an indication of the level of interest in GPI Campaign time so they can make a recommendation to the Board on the total time available for GPI Campaigns. The Letters of Intent will also inform the Gemini partners of the expected lien from GPI Campaign Projects on their usual allotment of Gemini time. Please send letters of intent to Gemini Deputy Director/Head of Science, Nancy Levenson, nlevenson at gemini.edu.

The Instrument

General information about GPI is available from the instruments section of the Gemini website (copied in a separate document), and current updates on GPI can be found at the external instrument site.

Policies for GPI Campaign Projects

This page is also available as a pdf document.

The GPI Campaign Projects represent a significant investment of resources by the Investigators on the projects, by the Gemini Observatory in executing the projects and by the Gemini partnership in granting the telescope time. The following are the expected policies that will govern GPI Campaign Projects.

  1. Prospective GPI Campaign Projects should submit a Letter of Intent to Gemini by January 20, 2011. Letters should include this information:
    • Title of Project
    • Principal Investigator with full name of institution and contact information (phone and email)
    • Co-Investigators with full names of institutions
    • Broad scientific goals of the program
    • An estimate of the total amount of telescope time that will be requested and the number of semesters over which the project will run
    • A brief justification for the required time, not to exceed three pages

    The primary purpose of this Letter is to give the Gemini Science Committee an indication of the level of interest in GPI Campaign Time so they can make a recommendation to the Board on the total time available for GPI Campaign Proposals. The Letters of Intent will also inform the Gemini partners on the expected lien from GPI Campaign Projects on their usual allotment of Gemini time. Additional details about the Letters of Intent are described in a separate document.


  2. The time for GPI Campaign Science will be allocated off the top in an amount decided by the Gemini Board following a recommendation from the GSC. It is expected that all partners will contribute to the GPI campaign time in proportion to their partner share.

  3. GPI Campaign Projects are to be handled similar to normal proposals in terms of time requests. Each GPI Campaign Proposal will indicate the requested number of hours per semester. Campaign program PIs must be eligible for time on Gemini South. University of Hawaii does not have time at Gemini South at present, so they cannot apply for GPI Campaign Time through the UH host time, but they may apply through the US.

  4. A GPI Campaign TAC will assess proposals and make recommendations to the Gemini Director. The GSC will make recommendations on the size and makeup of the TAC following receipt of the Letters of Intent. The Letters will also allow the GSC to identify conflicts of interest when populating the TAC. The Campaign TAC will include representation from the International TAC. This TAC will be the basis for the GPI Campaign Working Group that will evaluate progress of the ongoing approved programs.

  5. Gemini will appoint a staff member to be the GPI Campaign Program Manager. This person will be responsible for the oversight of the successful GPI Campaign program(s) and will serve as the interface to Gemini for policy issues. Issues related to operation of the campaign programs will be handled the Head of Science Operations for Gemini South.

  6. Gemini will not provide a funding award to support GPI Campaign Science.

  7. Approved campaign targets and their observing modes will be made public. Observations using a substantially different mode or instrumental setup may be considered for target duplication in independent programs.

  8. The Call for GPI Campaign Proposals is expected to be issued on February 1, 2011, with an expected deadline of March 31, 2011, for receipt of proposals.

  9. GPI Campaign Proposals must include:
    • a discussion of the primary scientific goals of the project;
    • a description of the experimental design, including sample selection, use of GPI, scheduling requirements, calibration, etc.;
    • a statement of the time requested by semester and by science ranking band;
    • a description of data products compatible with the international virtual observatory to be delivered, and the timeline for their delivery;
    • a management plan that describes staffing and resources available to complete the science program. The management plan must also describe:
      • the expected contributions of each participant;
      • data management procedures, including access to data within the team;
      • who is responsible for submitting progress reports and final reports;
      • the process for redirecting the research agenda as discoveries are made;
      • the mechanism for routine communication among research team members.

    Additional details about the Campaign Proposals are described in separate document.


  10. Each approved GPI Campaign Project will require a “Research Collaboration Agreement” signed by all members of the team before the campaign starts. This document needs to address the following questions:
    • What are the scientific issues, goals, and anticipated outcomes or products of the collaboration?
    • When is the project considered to be complete?
    • What are the expected contributions of each participant?
    • How and by whom will data be managed? How will access to data be managed? How will long-term storage and access to data after the project is complete be handled?
    • Who will write any progress reports and final reports?
    • How will the team decide about redirecting the research agenda as discoveries are made?
    • What will be the mechanism for routine communications among members of the research team (to ensure that all appropriate members of the team are kept fully informed of relevant issues)?
    • How will the team negotiate the development of new collaborations and spin-off projects, if any?
    • How, and by whom, will personnel decisions be made? How and by whom will personnel be supervised?
    • What will be the criteria and the process for assigning authorship and credit?
    • What is the process for pursuing independent or novel results based on the campaign data?
    • How will credit be attributed to each collaborator's institution for public presentations, abstracts, and written articles?
    • How and by whom will public presentations be made?
    • How and by whom will media inquiries be handled?
    • When and how will intellectual property be handled?
    • Should one of the principals of the research team move to another institution or leave the project, how will data, and authorship, and credit be handled?
    • What is the procedure for adding new members to the research team?

    While the SDSS is a much larger collaboration, it may be useful to look at examples of their various collaboration agreements


  11. Each successful GPI Campaign Project is to submit annual progress reports to the Gemini Director. These reports should contain (at a minimum) a summary of the observing time used thus far, comments on the quality of the data and whether the data quality is sufficient to meet the scientific goals of the program, a summary of the activities of each team member, the status of reduction of the data, and detailed plans for the next year of the project. With advice from the GPI Campaign Working Group, Gemini and the GSC will assess these reports to determine if continuing campaign observations are warranted.

Description of Targets


The targets for this data release fall into five categories:

  • Photometric/Spectroscopic standards. Most of these were observed open loop (i.e. AO control off) and unblocked by the coronagraph to measure system throughput while avoiding saturation. Some targets were observed with and without the apodizers and Lyot stops to measure the relative throughput of the coronagraph masks. The targets are from the IRTF Spex spectral library (HD 51956, HIP 30979, HD 20619), plus the white dwarf companion to HD 8049 from Zurlo et al. 2013.  

  • Astrometric Standards. Trapezium stars Theta1 Orionis A and B (compare with Close et al. 2013), and HD 1160 (compare with Nielsen et al. 2012).

  • Bright overhead test targets (but otherwise undistinguished stars).  During the first run we tested the AO system and coronagraph on a series of targets chosen primarily for brightness and position in the sky. We include these as examples of GPI coronagraphy in a range of atmospheric conditions and observing bands, but caution that (a) these were early nights and instrument performance was very much in flux as operating parameters were adjusted, and (b) the seeing was relatively poor.

  • Stars with Known Planets and/or Disks.  HD 95086 (H and K1 bands), Beta Pic (J band only), HD 10647 (J), HD 61005 (J).

  • Resolved Solar System Targets. Neptune (H band)


A subsequent data release(s) will add targets in polarimetry mode and in GPI’s non-redundant aperture masking (NRM) mode. The GPI team is still working to improve calibration of these modes and handling of some systematics before releasing these data.  


Finally, other targets have been observed but remain proprietary to the GPI team for the time being, including Beta Pic (H, K1, K2 bands) and HR 8799 (K1 and K2 bands).  



Important Cautionary Notes


The released FITS files represent the GPI instrument team’s best effort at calibrating and reducing these observations, but instrument calibration is necessarily a work in progress and incomplete. GPI is a highly complex instrument that we are still getting to know. Use your own experience and scientific judgement when analyzing and publishing data from GPI.


In particular, the stability over time of GPI’s absolute orientation with respect to the sky has not yet been characterized. Position angles should be considered uncertain to ~ 1 degree.


Every commissioning comes with surprises. For GPI these included:

  • More vibration than desired, due to the cryocoolers on the IFS. This manifests as tip-tilt and focus jitter in these data, and reduces contrast by ~ 0.3 mag for many targets. Instrument modifications in January and February 2014 are expected to mitigate this. Note also that contrast degradation is a function of angular separation.

  • Somewhat lower throughput was achieved than expected, with particularly sharp falloff beyond 2.2 microns in the K2 band. This is still being investigated. GPI’s design and optical coatings were optimized for performance at shorter wavelengths such as H band.

  • An artifact identified before commissioning—an optical ghost called the ‘seagull’ that can be seen in flat field or arc lamp images—is due to a caustic reflection inside the IFS of light from outside the field of view. A new baffle was installed in January 2014 to mitigate this.

  • The brightness ratios of the satellite spots relative to one another are variable at a level of up to a few tens of percent. This is believed to be due to an interference phenomenon between speckles and the diffracted spots. Quantitative models and calibrations are under development. Users should be cautious in assessing uncertainties when conducting photometry relative to satellite spots, and should not rely solely on any one single spot.

  • The lenslet (spaxel) pixel scale appears to be exactly as expected, 14.3±0.1 mas/lenslet. Distortion has not yet been characterized on sky; laboratory tests measured median distortion of 0.26 spaxels over the full field of view, and a correction based on these lab measurements is included with the data pipeline, which should reduce residual distortion to <0.04 spaxels.

  • Due to IFS internal flexure, the microspectra shift locations with respect to the detector, generally less than one pixel but with occasional larger shifts. Calibrations for this are still being improved. The wavelength calibration of the reduced data files should be considered uncertain by ~0.2% (~ 3 nm).  Shifts will vary from image to image depending on changes in elevation.



Data Reduction Notes


We summarize here the steps by which the raw data were reduced for this data release. Readers should also consult the GPI data pipeline documentation for additional descriptions of the individual steps in processing. As with all outputs of the GPI data pipeline, detailed reduction history and all reduction parameters are saved in FITS headers, so consult those for full details.


The data were reduced with v1.0rc1 (release candidate 1) of the GPI data reduction pipeline using the following primitives:

 

  • Flag Quicklook

  • Load wavelength calibration

  • Subtract dark background

  • Destripe science image (a)

  • Interpolate bad pixels in 2D frame

  • Update spot shifts for flexure

  • Assemble spectral datacube

  • Divide by lenslet flat field

  • Interpolate wavelength axis

  • Correct distortion

  • Measure satellite spot locations (b)

  • Measure satellite spot peak fluxes (b)


(a) - Destriping only performed on J-band closed-loop data.

(b) - Satellite spots only measured in a subset of the closed-loop data.


Sky background observations were obtained for a subset of targets,  offset by ~ 30 arcsec from the science objects. For this subset of observations, a sky cube was constructed through a median-combination of each reduced sky cube, which was then subtracted from each reduced science cube. For observations that lack contemporaneous sky data, no sky subtraction was performed in these reduced files.


Calibration files were selected either automatically or manually for the following primitives:

Load wavelength calibration -- automatic

Subtract dark background -- automatic

Interpolated bad pixels in 2D frame -- automatic

Divide by lenslet flat field -- manually (S20131212S0004_lensletflat_spec.fits)

Correct distortion -- manually (S20121210S0066-distor.fits)


The default recipe parameters were only changed in two instances; (1) when an offset was needed to align the wavecal solution with the spectra in the unprocessed 2D images, and (2) when the automatic satellite spot location algorithm failed due to low SNR on the satellite spots:


1 - Wavecal offset


For a subset of the reductions, the offset obtained from the lookup table in the ‘Update spot shifts for flexure’ primitive were not sufficient to fully correct for the flexure of the instrument. This problem manifests itself as a strong Moire pattern within each slice of the reduced data cube, which is discussed under ‘Reducing your science data’ here:


http://docs.planetimager.org/pipeline/usage/tutorial.html


For observations where the offsets obtained from the lookup table led to a poor reduction, GPItv was used to determine the correct offset to apply by visually aligning the spectra within the 2D image with the overplotted wavecal solution. This offset was then entered into the ‘manual_dx’ and ‘manual_dy’ parameters of the primitive, with the ‘method’ parameter changed to ‘manual’, and the data were re-reduced. As the expected change in the offset caused by instrument flexure as a function of target elevation was small for a given set of observations on a target (typically <0.2px), a single offset value pair was used for each sequence of a given target. This procedure was necessary for the following observations:

All Y-band

All J-band

H-band observations of Neptune

All K2-band


Improved automation for flexure compensation is under development for future versions of the data pipeline.

2 - Satellite spot finding


For a subset of closed-loop observations taken under poor seeing conditions, or for which the satellite spots are only marginally detected, the automatic spot-finding algorithm (‘Measure satellite spot locations’) fails during the reduction process. In this case, the data are initially reduced without the final two satellite spot primitives. The pixel position of the spots in the 15th frame were measured manually, and the data were re-reduced with the following modifications to the parameters in the ‘Measure satellite spot locations’ primitive:


reference_index = 15

loc_input = 1

x*, y* = [x, y pixel position of the corresponding satellite spot]


The next release of the data pipeline will include refinements to the automated spot-finding algorithm which will hopefully increase its success rate.  However, images with very low SNR in the spot locations will almost always need to be reprocessed manually to locate the spots.


Using the Satellite Spots:

The measured satellite spot locations and fluxes are written to the extension header in each FITS file, along with the derived mean star locations (keywords SATSi_j for sat spot locations, SATFi_i for sat spot fluxes, where i gives the wavelength index and j in {0-3} indexes the four spots.) Keywords PSFCENTX and PSFCENTY give the star locations;  Note that these are the mean locations across the spectral axis, but due to atmospheric differential refraction the star’s apparent position will generally vary with wavelength. (These data were all obtained prior to GPI’s atmospheric dispersion corrector being commissioned for use, so ADR is uncompensated).  The wavelength dependent position may be computed from the SATSi_j keywords and used to align the wavelength channels.


The satellite spots can also be used for photometry relative to the central star. The satellite spot intrinsic brightness ratios have been measured in the lab for each apodizer (one per filter). See the file config/apodizer_spec.txt included with the data pipeline.  Datacubes may be calibrated into physical flux units using the “Calibrate Photometric Flux” primitive in the data pipeline.
