摘要:

紫外线/光学望远镜(UVOT)是斯威夫特天文台上的三个仪器之一。测光校准已经公布,本文跟进的细节,包括测量的点扩散函数的轨道变化和测光的影响进行评估的校准的其他方面。描述了在视场上灵敏度的大尺度变化的校正,以及用于评估扩展区域中的符合校正的符合损失的模型。我们提供了一个校正的探测器失真和测量的UVOT的内部天体测量精度,也给出了相对于国际天体参考系的绝对精度。我们已经编制了本底计数率的统计数据,并讨论了本底的来源,包括仪器散射光。在每种情况下,我们都描述了对UVOT测量的任何影响,无论是在标准管道数据处理中应用任何校正,还是建议采取进一步的步骤。

英文摘要:

The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with details on other aspects of the calibration including a measurement of the point spread function with an assessment of the orbital variation and the effect on photometry. A correction for large scale variations in sensitivity over the field of view is described, as well as a model of the coincidence loss which is used to assess the coincidence correction in extended regions. We have provided a correction for the detector distortion and measured the resulting internal astrometric accuracy of the UVOT, also giving the absolute accuracy with respect to the International Celestial Reference System. We have compiled statistics on the background count rates, and discuss the sources of the background, including instrumental scattered light. In each case we describe any impact on UVOT measurements, whether any correction is applied in the standard pipeline data processing or whether further steps are recommended.
