... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Observation Strategies . For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... See Table 6.3 on page 113 for sky level as function of ecliptic coordinates.) If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Temperature Work in groups of 2-4. ... Due 1999 April 15 In this laboratory exercise, you will use the radio telescope on the roof of Science B to measure the intensity of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). ... The output of the telescope when pointing at the sky will then be 2 Tsys = Trec + Tsky : The temperature of the sky can in principle arise from two sources, radiation from the atmosphere and radiation from outer space (the CMBR). ...
