SENS-PET: an imaging
"Sensitivity Performance Estimation Tool". Choose Cryo or Warm IRAC, IRS Peak
Up Imaging, and MIPS
imaging instrument configurations, and select a background
level. Output: instrument sensitivities (both for point
source and extended objects), and the total exposure depth per
pixel.
SPEC-PET: a "Spectroscopy
Performance Estimation Tool". Input: IRS instrument
configuration (ramp duration, number of cycles, spectroscopic
module), source continuum flux density, wavelength. MIPS SED
exposure time and number of cycles.Output: instrument
sensitivities, point source continuum signal-to-noise estimate
Flux density estimators:
EX-PET: a point source, imaging
"EXtragalactic Performance Estimation Tool". Choose an SED model,
background level, and IRAC + MIPS instrument
configurations. Output: flux in the instrument passbands,
instrument sensitivities, S/N, and total exposure depth per
pixel.
STAR-PET: a "Stellar
Performance Estimation Tool". Select a stellar spectral type + Mk
class, K-band magnitude or K-band flux density. Output:
the expected flux density in the IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0 micron
passbands, and at 15 um (IRS peakup and short wavelength module),
and 24 microns (IRS long wavelength module and MIPS Si:As array).
