英文摘要:
The NASA SPHEREx satellite was launched in 03/2025 to survey the full sky between 0.75 - 5.0 um. The image processing of SPHEREx H2RG detectors includes real-time flagging of transient events during integration. SPHEREx follows a polar orbit passing over the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) zone multiple times daily, where the transient counts reach as high as >80% of pixels, depleting the pixel inventory for further analysis. The science pipeline flags all exposures taken while in the SAA for re-observation, as well as any with >10% transients regardless of the spacecraft location. After six months, ~1.5% of the exposures outside of the pre-defined SAA zone were flagged. While some exposures are adjacent to the edge of the SAA, the majority appear to trace the geomagnetic field near the poles. Given the importance of the SAA to designing and operating space instruments, in this paper we present the SAA boundary traced by SPHEREx transient flags as a reference for future mission.
