FITS File Headers

6.1 Science Data File Headers

The main header, or HDU1, typically contains most of the information about the file, while the headers for the extensions usually give additional information about the data in each extension. The main headers are parsed into sections, and all science data files (RAW, CAL, IDF, ALL, ANO, and NVO) contain the same sections. However, for the RAW images, not all of the fields are populated. Several of the ancillary files contain similar information. The following sections describe these standard header sections.

This chapter contains general information useful to the "Advanced" and "Intermediate" user. Its contents are not, however, of immediate relevance to the "Casual" user.


DATA DESCRIPTION KEYWORDS: This set of keywords is fairly self-explanatory. For exposure level files, OBS_STAT is replaced with EXP_STAT.

SUMMARY EXPOSURE INFORMATION: This section contains the date and time of the observation, including the exposure start and end time, and the computed exposure time. Exposure start and end times are expressed in Modified Julian Date (MJD = JD-2400000.5). The EXPENDC keyword indicates the reason for the termination of the exposure - entry into South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), occultation (OCC), end of night (NGHT), or the natural end of exposure (ENDE) or end of observation (ENDO). The Sun and Moon angles, and the minimum pointing angle above the Earth limb are computed by the calibration software, and are therefore 0 in the raw data files. For TTAG data, the calibration software also screens photon address data, and ignores bad data taken in, for instance, the SAA. There are a number of keywords reporting the actions taken by this screening step, and are shown below. The meanings of these codes are summarized in Table 4.104.11, and 4.12 of Section 4.2.1.3. If data are screened out, then EXPTIME will be smaller than RAWTIME in the IDF and the calibrated files.

SCIENCE INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION: These keywords contain planned as well as telemetered values for the instrument configuration. Most of the keywords shown below are self-explanatory. For the detector mask, DET_MASK, AIC1 is an open mask, i.e., none of the photon events are masked out. The focal plane assembly (FPA) X and Z positions from the telemetry are recorded in the header keywords. Note that the FES_FILT keyword is always set to CLR. The mirror focus MIR*FOC keywords are populated only for bright object defocus test exposures.

ORBITAL EPHEMERIS: These keywords contain the Keplerian elements for the FUSE orbital ephemeris. Together with the time of observation, these values can be used to calculate where the satellite was in its orbit (although much of this information is already in the timeline table in the IDF files). The calibration software, for instance, uses these values to compute the Doppler correction to apply as it produces the calibrated data.

SCIENCE DATA PROCESSING STEPS: These keywords indicate which steps of the calibration pipeline have been applied to the data. All processing steps are set to a value of INITIAL in the raw data files. The first pipeline module sets them to either PERFORM or OMIT, depending on whether the corresponding calibration step is to be performed or not. Once a step is completed, its keyword is changed to a value of COMPLETE. If a pipeline module decides not to perform a step labeled PERFORM, it changes the keyword to SKIPPED. Thus, COMPLETE, OMIT, and SKIPPED are all valid keywords in extracted spectral files (see Dixon et al. (2007)).

SCIENCE DATA PROCESSING CALIBRATION FILES: These keywords indicate the names of the SDP calibration files and the ancillary files used by the calibration software. Knowing these filenames is important if one is considering reprocessing the data. Since no flat field or worm corrections were applied to the data these fields always remain empty.

MEASURED SPECTRAL CENTROIDS: This section gives the position of the centroids of the spectra determined by CalFUSE. The quality keyword is set to HIGH if the centroid is measured from the target spectrum, MEDIUM if it is measured from airglow features, and LOW if it is taken from a reference file (see Dixon et al. (2007) for more details).

ENGINEERING KEYWORDS: A fair amount of the detector engineering snapshot data (engineering telemetry) is included in the FITS headers. The values included are shown below. Except for the Active Image Counters, only those values from the relevant detector segment are inserted into the header. The example keywords below are for segment 1B. For a description of the counters and masks, see the Instrument Handbook (2009). The counter information is used by CalFUSE (see Dixon et al. (2007)).

6.2 Engineering Data File Headers

Subsets of the DATA DESCRIPTION keywords, PROPOSAL INFORMATION keywords, and TARGET INFORMATION keywords are also included in the housekeeping and jitter file headers. In addition, their headers contain unique keywords which are described in this section.


Housekeeping Keywords: The HDU1 header for the housekeeping files contains some of the keywords defined above plus a set of engineering housekeeping time keywords (shown below). These specify the start time of the engineering telemetry contained in the file, and are measured quantities. The TIME_ENG keyword value is normally about one-half to one minute before the actual start time of the science exposure.

              ENGINEERING HOUSEKEEPING TIME                                     
                                                                                
HSKPVERS= '3.2               ' / Housekeeping version number                    
DATE_ENG= '2000-09-27        ' / start date (yyyy-mm-dd)                        
TIME_ENG= '11:03:16          ' / start time (hh:mm:ss)

The HDU2 headers of the housekeeping files simply contain definitions of the housekeeping variables listed in Appendix D, so they are not repeated here.


Jitter Keywords: The HDU1 headers for the jitter files contain the engineering housekeeping time keywords described above, as well as a unique set of jitter keywords. The jitter data are computed from the housekeeping data. Most of the jitter keywords reflect the results of that analysis, and are intended as indicators of the overall quality of the pointing during the science exposure.

JIT_STAT
is set to 0 for good jitter data, 1 if there were problems with the jitter data, 2 if the AT_CMD_ATT flag was not set, 3 if the commanded ACS quaternions were not available, 4 if there was no field information, and 5 if there were problems with the tabulated starting time of the exposure.

JIT_VERS
is the CalFUSE jitter routine version number used to generate the jitter file. Values less than 3.1 will produce an error in CalFUSE.

QREF_SRC
gives the source of the reference quaternion.

QREF_*
are the values of the reference quaternions (see Instrument Handbook (2009).

EXP_DUR
is the duration of telemetry in the jitter file. The telemetry in the housekeeping data is specified to start 0.5-1.0 minute before the start of the associated science exposure, and to end 1 minute after the end of the associated science exposure. Thus, the jitter EXP_DUR should be 90-120 s longer than the science exposure time EXPTIME.

KNOWNTRK
is the fraction of EXP_DUR when the IDS was using known guide stars to compute a guiding solution. In known tracking, the pointing position is the aperture.

ACSTRK
is the fraction of EXP_DUR when the IDS was using unknown stars to compute a guiding solution. In unknown tracking, stars are used to control the pointing of the spacecraft, but the identity of these stars is not known. The target may or may not be at the desired place in the aperture, depending on preceding events.

NOGDEINF
is the fraction of EXP_DUR for which there was no ACS guidance mode information available.

NGS_USED
gives the number of guide stars used to track.

GSn_USED
is the fraction of EXP_DUR when guide star n was contributing to the guiding solution computed by the IDS. Normally, 3 to 6 guide stars are used for an observation. Rarely as few as 1 or 2 are scheduled. Values of 0 are assigned to any star not scheduled to be used. Any star with a severe problem preventing use may have a value of 0 for this keyword. In general, these keywords indicate a problem if: (1) the keyword value differs significantly for the guide stars in use during a single exposure; (2) a lower-numbered guide star is 0 while a higher-numbered guide star is non-zero, or; (3) the number of guide stars in use changes among the jitter files in the same observation.

KTRKFINE
is the fraction of the exposure using known guide stars when the errors were < 15″

ATRKFINE
is the fraction of the exposure using the ACS when the errors were < 15″

TOTLFINE
is the fraction of the total exposure when the errors were < 15″

GS_INUSE
is the fraction of EXP_DUR when the IDS was using stars for guiding, whether Known or Unknown.

SLEWFLG
is the fraction of EXP_DUR when the spacecraft was executing a commanded slew. A non-zero value may indicate a guiding problem during the exposure, except in certain cases. A non-zero value is not a problem for science exposures for which scans were purposely executed, including M112's, M114's, and certain other calibration observations. There are two other cases where a non-zero value may not be a problem. Because the jitter "exposure" starts 30-60 s before the science exposure, a slew that completed prior to the science exposure may be included in the housekeeping data. Certain science exposures are more likely to be affected by this mis-match: the first exposure following the guide star acquisition; and the first exposure following a peakup.

SLEWTIME
is the time spent slewing (sec).

POSAVG_X[Y]
is the average of DX[Y] during the exposure, where DX[Y] are defined in Section 5.2.

X[Y]_JITTER
is the standard deviation of DX[Y] in the telemetry file. This value gives some indication of the orbital variation.

X[Y]_JIT_15M
, if present, is the standard deviation of DX[Y] during the observation time when the pointing was within 15″ of nominal. Hence, this value measures the stability while the target was within the LWRS aperture.

X[Y]_JITLRG
is fraction of EXP_DUR for which DX[Y] is more than 2σ from the average.
