2007/02/14: slight change Section 6.4.3, “Concatenation of observations” to clarify rules on permitted chainings.
2007/02/15: Inconsistency noticed between HSpot and PACS documentation. Short wavelength cut-off for PACS changed in Section 5.3, “Spectroscopy with Herschel” to be consistent with HSpot (also changed in PACS Manual by BA). Resolution information updated to give information on 1st, 2nd and 3rd order performance.
2007/04/11: Resolution information updated to give updated range information on 1st, 2nd and 3rd order performance in Section 5.3, “Spectroscopy with Herschel” to be consistent with values defined in SCR-3091.
2007/04/30: A sub-section is added Section 6.2.2.1, “What is a NAIF ID?” to explain the origin of NAIF IDs.
2007/05/29: Some typos corrected in Chapter 3, Ground Segment.
2007/05/31:
Updates of concatenation rules in Section 6.4.3, “Concatenation of observations”.
Updates of overhead rules and application in Section 6.6, “Observing overheads”.
Updates of calibration overhead rules and application in Section 6.6.3, “Internal calibration”.
Updates of constrained observation rules and application in Section 6.6.4, “Constrained observations”.
Correct HIFI exclusion half-angles in Table 1.3, “Nominal exclusion angles (half-cones) for observation towards major planets”.
Add SPIRE PACS parallel mode exclusion half-angles as a footnote in Table 1.3, “Nominal exclusion angles (half-cones) for observation towards major planets”.
Update PACS sensitivities in Table 5.2, “The main spectroscopic capabilities of PACS, SPIRE and HIFI. For more details please check the relevant instrument manual.”.
2007/08/01:
Update to the proposal submission procedure in Section 6.1.2, “Proposal presentation” to take into account the fact that proposers must now use the HerschelFORM PDFLatex pakage to prepare their scientific case.
Update to the observing modes described in Section 6.2, “Types of target” to eliminate the cluster and shadow observing target types that currently seem unlikely to be implemented.
Add a section Section 6.2.2.2, “Solar system object ephemeris accuracy” on the accuracy of the available ephemerides for moving targets.
Add a section Section 6.2.2.3, “What accuracy of ephemeris is required?” on the required accuracy of ephemerides for moving targets for them to be observable by Herschel.
