Notes. is the radius of the aperture used for the point-source photometry, caper is the corresponding correction factor to scale the flux to its total value,cc(λref) is the colour-correction factor to derive the source flux at the reference wavelength λref of the filter (Müller et al. 2011), HPF is the abbreviation for high pass filter, pixfrac is the ratio of drop size to input pixel size used for the drizzlingalgorithm (Fruchter & Hook 2002) within the photProject() mapper, outpix is the output pixel size in the final map, Naper is the number of output pixels inside the photometry aperture with , and fcorr is the correlated noise correction factor depending on the combination of HPF radius / pixfrac / outpix. (a) This parameter determines the elementary section of a scan over which the HPF algorithm computes a running median value. Its unit is “number of read-outs”. The spatial interval between two readouts is. For the standard νro = 10 Hz read-out scheme in PACS prime mode, and a scan speed vscan = 20′′/s, the spatial interval αro between two read-outs corresponds to 2′′. The entire width of the HPF window (′′) = [(2 × HPF radius) + 1] × αro.
