Instantaneous Field of Regard is an annulus covering 35% of the sky The whole sky is covered twice each year with small concnuous viewing zones at the EclipCc poles JWST Moving Targets - J. Stansberry ERS Webinar

11 Moving Targets Tracking Non-sidereal tracking Implemented. Rates up to 30 mas/s (108 /hr) supported (max rate of Mars) Modeling shows excellent poincng stability (< 7mas NEA), ~same as fixed targets The moving-target is fixed in detector frame while exposing Dithers, mosaics supported (slightly higher overheads) ~1 mag brighter guide stars required for moving targets Some small impact on schedulability for targets at high galaccc lactude Long (~1hr+ tracks), and observacons are possible Will use mulcple guide stars JWST Moving Targets - J. Stansberry ERS Webinar 11

12 How Fast are Moving Targets Moving? JWST can track nearly any targets within its field of regard on any given day even NEOs and Comets JWST Moving Targets - J. Stansberry ERS Webinar 12

13 NIRSpec Target Acquisition, Slits, IFU NIRSpec TA for moving targets is not easy 1.6 square aperture Ephemeris of target must be accurate! Centroid calculated on-board Target can be accurately (<10mas) posiconed in the IFU, any of the fixed slits, or in a pseudo long-slit in the microshuner array IFU 3 Pseudo Long-slit Targ.Acq.

24 Data Pipeline for Moving Targets

25 Moving-target Pipeline Overview CalibraCon pipeline data product levels : 1. Data formaung, science-frame re-orientacon, MT WCS informacon added 2. Calibrated single-exposure count-rate images; flux conversion, wavelength cal. 3. Combine Level-2 products è coadd exposures, mosaicking, etc. Single-exposure calibracon processing (level 2): Science target is fixed in the detector frame (telescope tracking) Detector-level calibrapon steps are the ~same as for fixed targets MulC-exposure calibracon processing (level 3): CoaddiPon of exposures occurs in the co-moving frame of the target ExisCng fixed-target algorithms will be used HST Pipeline has never done this Same approach used by Spitzer and Herschel JWST Moving Targets - J. Stansberry ERS Webinar 25

26 Astronomer s Proposal Tool (APT) for Moving Targets An extensive chart packet about APT for moving targets will be posted at jwst.stsci.edu/events Look for today s event at that URL APT example proposal for moving targets is also in the works (accessible from APT -> File -> JWST DemonstraCon Proposals)

27 What is APT? APT is your tool for Designing JWST (and HST) observacons Defining targets Standard targets: Planets, Dwarf Planets, Satellites, Longitudes, etc. Comets, asteroids, new satellites Defining ObservaCons Pick Instrument (NIRCAM, NIRSpec, MIRI, NIRISS) Pick Science Template (e.g. Imaging, IFU Spectroscopy, ) OpConally set up Target AcquisiCon Define Exposure SpecificaCons (filter and/or disperser plus detector readout parameters) Defining scheduling constraints on observacons Date/Cme SeparaCon from another body Apparent rate of mocon Phase angle, distance, etc. EvaluaCng schedulability of observacons Submiung your Proposals Java Applica6on available at h8p://apt.stsci.edu JWST Moving Targets - J. Stansberry ERS Webinar 27

28 APT: Starting a Proposal You can create JWST proposals now with APT 9/12016 APT for Solar System Observers - J. Stansberry - JWST London Workshop 28

29 APT Moving Target Specifications Inherits many capabilices from HST MT Level-1 Types Standard (planets and their satellites) Comet (suports non-gravitaconal orbit perturbacons) Asteroid (everything else) Interface to JPL Horizons Retrieval of NAIF ID/names and orbital elements The target specificacon is the only thing you do differently to observe moving targets ObservaCons may then be specified using all instrument modes JWST Moving Targets - J.

36 Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) for Moving Targets

37 What is the ETC? The JWST ETC is different from what you are probably used to Web-based GUI interface Simulates throughput, all noise components Is scene based all calculacons are 2D (3D for spectra) Result is an SNR image, plus SNR for specified measurement method (aperture) Is a complex tool that takes Cme to learn Has no specific capabilices for simulacng moving targets Use of the ETC is required to juscfy proposal Cme requests Create a MyST account to use it (and archive) ETC workbooks Sets of user-defined calculacons May be shared with other users Web Applica6on available at h8p://jwst.etc.stsci.edu JWST Moving Targets - J.
