What corrections (e.g. colour correction) do I need to apply to SPIRE photometry?
Posted by Mark Kidger on 10 September 2018 10:56 AM

The Herschel Science Centre has produced two simple, step-by-step guides for anyone who would like to perform photometry on a SPIRE image. These give details of how to perform photometry and the corrections that must be performed on the raw photometry.

The first short videotutorial explains how to perform aperture photometry on SPIRE maps and gives an overview of the corrections that are required, If you are familiar with SPIRE photometry, you can pass straight to the second video, although we recommend that users watch both:

The second short videotutorial explains in more detail the steps in applying corrections to the raw photometry, in particular, the sequence of the corrections to apply and how to apply the colour correction to SPIRE photometry are explained. This videotutorial shows practical examples of applying the corrections to real data from SPIRE:
