Operations and performance of the PACS instrument 3He sorption cooler on board of the Herschel space observatory

Abstract: A 3 He sorption cooler produced the operational temperature of 285 mK for the bolometer arrays of the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) instrument of the Herschel Space Observatory. This cooler provided a stable hold time between 60 and 73 h, depending on the operational conditions of the instrument. The respective hold time could be determined by a simple functional relation established early on in the mission and reliably applied by the scientific mission planning for the entire mission.

“…Hora et al 2012;Yee et al 2017), and the Herschel mission ended on 29 April 2013 when the satellite ran out of its helium coolant (e.g. Sauvage et al 2014)). Nevertheless, the aforementioned analysis suggests that bands near 3.6 µm and 24 µm would be informative if the other bands are comparable to those employed here.…”

“…Hereafter, these half-data maps are referred to as jackknife maps or map pairs, and full-data maps as co-added. Note, one of the 12 scans is discarded because of a voltage bias swell (or "cooler-burp" Sauvage et al 2014) that occurred during a cooler cycle, which if included would lead to large-scale striping. The result is that one of the jackknife maps is not fully sampled; this is taken into account in all stages of bandpower and uncertainty estimation.…”
