Subject: E2E 20050611 Shift-B Science Report.


Despite some delays, Shift-A was able to complete the Mirror Gradient 
sub-test. Analysis will be forthcoming.

There was a transition to Shift-B, and the source was changed to Al-K. The 
Telescope Sensitivity sub-test was performed. Results are available on the 
Analysis webpage. In summary, the CCD response appears to be linear over 
the range of available exposure durations. For exposures of 10 sec or 
more, the thermal dark current is linear versus exposure duration. For 
shorter exposures, the dark current is effectively independent of 
exposure. This probably indicates domination of the readout noise.

The source was then changed back to Cu-L, and the boresight was reset to 
the "original" position. The location of Best Focus was verified to have 
not moved significantly from when we were previously at the "original" 
alignment.

We then ran the 1D FOV OF scans in pitch/yaw which are orthogonal to the 
ones taken yesterday. There was a hiccup in the data processing which 
caused a delay. All of the FOV OF scans were completed, but the science 
data was not available until the end of the shift.
