FIRBACK: II. Data Reduction and Calibration of the 170 micron ISO Deep Cosmological Survey
arXiv:astro-ph/0103433 · doi:10.1051/0004-6361:20010433
Abstract
We present the final reduction and calibration of the FIRBACK ISOPHOT data. FIRBACK is a deep cosmological survey performed at 170 microns. This paper deals with the ISOPHOT C200 camera with the C160 filter. We review the whole data reduction process and compare our final calibration with DIRBE (for the extended emission) and IRAS (for point sources). The FIRBACK source extraction and galaxy counts is discussed in a companion paper (Dole et al., 2001).
