Since Alice uses a delay-line detector, the pixel location of a photon event assigned by the electronics will vary as a function of temperature (due to the changing resistance). To monitor this shift, the electronics produce artificial events (stim pulses) at two locations (near [17, 22] and [1023,12]). Unfortunately, the second stim pulse is recorded by the detector electronics as lying outside of the standard 1024x32 region, and as a result, most of the counts produced by this stim are assigned to a single pixel [1023,12]. Consequently, only the first stim pulse can be used to determine the wavelength shift. The average location of the stim pulse (weighted by counts) was calculated. Gaussians were then fit to the emission lines: Lyman gamma, Lyman beta, Lyman alpha, O I 1304, C I 1561,and C I 1657 present in the spectra of comet C/2002 LINEAR T7 observed in April and May 2004 and the Lyman alpha in sky observations obtained in 2004 and 2005. The wavelength scale for row 15 of the Alice data is given, by the following equation: lambda = m_s*X + alpha_S + beta_s*S + gamma_s*S**2 + delta_s*S**3 where X is the column number on the detector and S is the centroid position of the stim pulse. m_s is the instrument dispersion and is derived from comparison of the Mars dayglow observed by Rosetta Alice with that observed by HUT (Feldman et al. 1995) Although the stim pulses are usually on for Alice observations, there are some observations made without stim pulses. For these, the stim position S is derived from the detector electronics temperature via the following equation: S = alpha_T + beta_T*T + gamma_T*T**2 + delta_T*T**3 In addition to the temperature dependence of the wavelength scale, some distortion is introduced by the Alice optics. This distortion is most pronounced in rows 5-12 of the detector, where lower wavelengths are shifted to lower column numbers, relative to the central row (row 15, zero-indexed). The 32-element vector contains offsets (relative to row 15 and in units of pixels) for each row of the Alice detector, as derived from Mars dayglow observations."
