Pointing ATST to the center of the Sun, images of the solar atmosphere are to be acquired at all initial VBI wavelengths, with the adaptive optic system operational. In addition, dark and flat calibration images are to be acquired.Images are to be calibrated using the dark and flat calibration images.

ISRD Requirement Personel Procedure Success CriterionSignal-to-Noise Ratio NSO instrument
scientist,operator
Pointing ATST to the center of the Sun, images of the solar atmosphere are to be acquired at all initial VBI wavelengths, with the adaptive optic system operational. In addition, dark and flat calibration images are to be acquired.For each wavelength, the dark calibration image and gain calibration image is computed. The flat images are subsequently gain corrected. From the gain corrected flat images, a mean spatial power spectrum is computed, and azimuthally averaged. The high spatial frequency tail is a good estimate for the noise in the images.A comparison of this value to the azimuthally averaged spatial power spectrum of a single calibrated image serves as metric for the signal-to-noise ratio in the image.
Signal to Noise Ratio:within the required 100:1

SCIENCE VERIFICATION – STEP A
Verification Step A:photospheric wavelengths
NSO instrument scientist,operator
Pointing ATST to the center of the Sun, images of the solar atmosphere are to be acquired at all initial photospheric VBI wavelengths, with the adaptive optic system operational.The complete VBI initialization workflow is to be tested at the beginning of each observation.Images are reconstructed. With potential intermediate reboots/shutdowns, time sequences of increasing duration intervals (1h, 2h, 4h, 8h) are acquired.If possible, similar co-temporal and co-spatial observations (using twin passbands) should be scheduled at another telescope.
During observation:- Ensure proper functionality of all used systems.- Ensure that no gain correction errors appear in the time sequences (optical stability).- Ensure that contrast/SNR does not show different behavior in the several observed time sequences.Offline:- Compute distribution in granular sizes and ensure compatibility with published results.- Compute granular contrast (potentially of spatially degraded data) and ensure compatibility with published results.
Verification Step B:chromospheric wavelengths
NSO instrument scientist,operator
Pointing ATST to the limb of the Sun, images of the solar atmosphere are to be acquired at all initial chromospheric VBI wavelengths, with the adaptive optic system operational.The complete VBI initialization workflow is to be tested.Frame Selection Plugin is used. A time sequence of 6h is acquired, with exposures synchronized to the modulator.If possible, similar co-temporal and co-spatial observations (using twin passbands) should be scheduled at another telescope.
During observation:- Ensure proper functionality of all used systems- Ensure non-existence of systematic intensity fluctuations due to imperfect synchronization to modulator.Offline:- Compute distribution of length and diameter of spicules and ensure compatibility with published results.
