Scientific paper

This document describes the NICMOS calibration activities for Cycle 11. It complements the SMOV3b and the NICMOS Cycle 10 interim calibration programs. These activities cover a period of 13 months and pursue the following major objectives: i) to monitor the main instrument properties, ii) to test the model for generating darks, iii) to analyze in detail the intra-pixel sensitivity effects for cameras 2 and 3, iv) to calibrate the polarimetry mode, and v) to establish NICMOS stability when tracking differential (spectrophotometric) changes over time. In addition, a contingency program (‘Pupil Transfer Function’) will be activated if differential photometry over the chips obtained from SMOV data does not reach the required levels of accuracy.
