  1. 350 m Observations of Asteroids, Secondary Calibrators, and Stellar Standard(s) C. Darren Dowell Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology,USA 2008 Feb 7

  2. Scope of this Project • CSO/SHARC II 350 m archive (2003-date): • bright (>2 Jy), compact calibrators for ground-based use; 10% accuracy goal • limited observations of fainter calibrators for Herschel • Calibration relative to Mars, Uranus, Neptune • Starlink FLUXES program from JCMT: • Mars: TB ≈ 210 K (Wright 1976; Wright 1995, priv. commun.) • Uranus: TB = 64.0 K (Griffin & Orton 1993) • Neptune: TB = 60.9 K (1% below Griffin & Orton 1993) • Paper (Dowell, Sandell, et al.) to be produced this year. • Analysis shown today is preliminary. • 10% uncertainty unless stated otherwise.

  3. SHARC II/CSO • eff = 350 m • main beam: 8.5˝ FWHM

  4. Data Analysis • Nonlinearity correction (≤ 25%) • Calibration of atmospheric absorption based on total power on bolometer array • 28’’ aperture for photometry • simultaneous fit over all sources, using Mars, Uranus, Neptune as fixed references

  5. Bright Secondary Standards

  6. Bright Secondary Standards star formation sites

  7. Bright Secondary Standards evolved stars

  8. Evolved Stars

  9. Evolved Stars

  10. Evolved Stars F = 23.3 Jy ± 16%, T = 593 d

  11. Evolved Stars F = 23.3 Jy ± 16%, T = 593 d IRC+10216: 32.4 Jy ± 13%, T = 671 d  Cet: 2.30 Jy ± 29%, T = 330 d CIT6: 3.02 Jy ± 11%, T = 572 d CRL618: no sign of variability CRL2688: no sign of variability

  12. Miscellaneous 350 m Point Sources • Galilean Satellites: • Callisto: TB = 128 K (within 5% of de Pater et al. 1989) • Ganymede: TB = 117 K (within 3% of de Pater et al. 1989) • Stellar Disks: • HL Tau: 17.0 Jy • TW Hya: 6.48 Jy •  Oph SR 21A: 3.79 Jy • limited data on numerous ~1 Jy disks • Extragalactic: • Arp 220: 11.4 Jy • Mrk 231: 1.92 Jy ± 15% • limited data on numerous ~1 Jy IR galaxies

  13. Mars, Uranus, Neptune • Mars vs. Uranus: • 2005 May 13, 15.2-16.5 UT, stable conditions • observed Mars/Uranus = 18.5, 7±2% lower than FLUXES prediction • However, for full archive, observed Mars/Uranus is low by only 3%. • Mars vs. Neptune: • Over full archive, Mars/Neptune is low by 7%.

  14. Asteroids • Simple model: • TB = T1AU (r / 1 AU)-1/2 • r = heliocentric distance • F = B(TB) 

  15. Bright, Well-Observed Asteroids T1AU = 292 K

  16. Bright, Well-Observed Asteroids T1AU = 292 K r.m.s. of residuals: 7%

  17. Bright, Well-Observed Asteroids T1AU = 292 K r.m.s. of residuals: 7% Pallas: T1AU = 326 K; r.m.s.: 7% Vesta: T1AU = 248 K; r.m.s.: 11%

  18. Pallas: TB vs. heliocentric distance TB = T1AU (r / 1 AU)-1/2

  19. Asteroids at 350 m (10-25% unc.) • Hygiea (C): T1AU = 412 K • Metis (S): 339 K • Juno (S): 334 K • Pallas (B): 326 K • Davida (C): 292 K • Ceres (C): 292 K • Egeria (G): 289 K • Vesta (V): 248 K • Psyche (M): 200 K • also observations of: Amphitrite (S), Cybele (C), Diotima (C), Europa (C), Io (C)

  20. Stellar Standard  Boo • F = 0.54 Jy • within 20% of model prediction (W. Vacca, priv. commun.) • only IR stellar standard detected so far at 350 m

  21. What is needed now for ground-based observations in support of Herschel? • CSO will continue observations of bright calibrators. • Difficult to get observing time for faint Herschel calibrators. • If important, consider buying CSO time?

  22. This work was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
