Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This project consists in imaging the impact spot detected a few days ago
on Jupiter southern pole.
A galilean satellite will be used as a reference star the camera S27 will be offseted
nearby the southern pole.
Observations will be recorded in 2 NB and one IB filters.
We identified several opportunities to observe the southern impact feature from
AUg 17 to Aug 26 using a Galilean satellite. We prepared indivisual OBs for each
opportunity which should be executed in the following sequence
MOV_Jup_Short-DATE-SATELLITE
PSF_Jup_Short-DATE
DATE SATELLITE Time Note
Sep10 Io 03:50-05:10 approaching Jupiter * EASIER *
Sep13 Io 00:30-01:45 getting out of transit
Sep20 Io 01:50-03:15 getting out of transit
Sep27 Io 03:15-04:25 getting out of transit
Our strategy of observation is to identified the reference satellite first (step
1), then update the offset to center the camera on Jupiter southern pole (step 2),
take data consecutivly 2 NB and one IB filter images, offsetting the telescope toward
the south by 30" to record as well sky (step 3). Move toward a PSF star PSF HD
208269 star V=8.8, J 7.54, H 7.26, K 7.13 (step 4) record frame of the PSF (STEP
5).
step 1 is difficult because Jupiter is bright and if the reference satellites will
be close you may have difficulties to see it. When observations are performed when
the satellite is getting out of transit/occultation it can be invisible due to the
glare/saturation of Jupiter. It depends of the filter and the wavelength available
on the camera control. If I well remember you use NACO large FOV itself as a camera
control, I advice to try to identify the satellites in NB2.17 (in the methane band)
to minimize the glare effect. Another possibility could be to center first on a
further Galilean satellite and offset the telescope to the closer one by calculating
there relative motion. The sky of the wavefront sensor should be taken north or
south of the satellite.
