COMMENT This is an effective beam profile, which measures the COMMENT relative response of the DIRBE to a point source, including COMMENT the effects of sky-scanning and data-sampling rates. COMMENT Beam profiles are represented as two-dimensional COMMENT arrays which give the beam response as a COMMENT function of in-scan and cross-scan position. COMMENT In-scan position is defined as positive COMMENT toward the scan direction, and cross-scan position is COMMENT defined as positive toward the spacecraft spin-axis. COMMENT The origin (0,0) corresponds to the nominal boresight COMMENT position as defined from the attitude solution. COMMENT COMMENT The beam profile for Band 5 showed no clear COMMENT time-dependence over the lifetime of the cryogenic COMMENT mission. Therefore, only 1 beam profile is recorded COMMENT here, covering the time interval (YYDDD): COMMENT 89345 - 90264 (inclusive) COMMENT The beam is normalized to a value of 1.0 at the COMMENT location of peak response. COMMENT COMMENT The beam solid angle for Band 5 used in the Pass3B data COMMENT processing is 1.427 e-04 sr.
