3 Instrument MIRIS = Multipurpose InfraRed Imaging System Main payload of STSAT-3, launched on 2013 Nov. 20 SOC + EOC Orbit Altitude ~ 620 km Eccentricity Inclination 97.8 deg. LTAN 22.3 o clock

4 Main Sciences Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation Measure the absolute background and fluctuation Paα Emission Line of the Galaxy Study WIM(warm ionized medium) Compare Paα with Hα and FIR

5 MIRIS SOC Telescope: refractive, aperture 8cm Resolution: FoV: Observation Wavelength: Broadband filters: 1.1 μm and 1.6 μm bands Narrow filter: Paα line (1.876 μm), Paα continuum lines μm-band 1.1 μm-band Paα cont. λ [μm] Visible Paα line

6 Temperature Control MIRIS SOC Telescope: ~195 K (passive cooling) Detector: 90 K (active cooling w/ motor)

7 Observation Strategy Integration per frame: 2 seconds Integration for 10 frames (20 seconds), then reset the detector Dark current exposures for 4 minutes, followed by sky exposures for 8 minutes Effective sky exposure time per observation: 8 min. 9 / 11 = 6.5 min.

8 Cosmic Infrared Background Leinert et al. (1998) Sky brightness at near-ir (in space) = Zodiacal Light + Integrated Starlight + Diffuse Galactic Light + Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) Issues EBL = CIB? Source of CIB? First stars (Pop. III) or remainders after subtraction processes Intrahalo Light?

9 Cosmic Infrared Background Targets: NEP, NGP, SGP 7 7 pointing observations with 50% overlap 4 times observations of ~10 10 area Wavelengths: 1.1 μm and 1.6 μm bands Observe for 8 minutes for each band (effective exposure: 6.5 minutes) Additional observations: NEP Monitoring Observe NEP every two days (1.1 μm and 1.6 μm bands) Can be used to study zodiacal light and for instrument calibration
