CAPABILITIES, INSTRUMENT MODES AND AOTS

 

ISOCAM has three main imaging modes: photometric, spectrophotometric and polarimetric. Additionally, in the photometric mode, celestial raster and beam-switching, where observations on the source and on one or more reference positions are carried out, can be performed.

These observation modes are accessible via three dedicated AOTs:

Polarimetric observations can also be achieved, but require the use of the Calibration Uplink System, rather than being programmed through an AOT.
