END_OBJECT = TEXT END The primary data extension of CODMAC level 3 Rosetta Alice data (science-level) is in flux units (photons cm**-2 s**-1). To convert this extension to Rayleighs per Angstrom (10**6/4 Pi photons cm**- s**-1 sr**-1 A**-1) it is necessary to multiply each pixel by 4 Pi 10**6. Next, the pixels must be divided by the absolute value of the instrument dispersion (-1.73435 angstroms/pixel). Finally the pixels in each row of the detector must be divided by the solid angle subtended by the source. In the case of a uniformly illuminated slit, this solid angle is that subtended by that detector row. Rows subtend 0.308 degrees in the spatial direction and between 0.05 and 0.10 degrees in the spectra dimension. The following list gives the solid angle (in units of steradians) subtended by each row as a function of row number (zero-indexed): Row Number Solid Angle 0 NaN 1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN 5 9.38222e-06 6 9.38222e-06 7 9.38222e-06 8 9.38222e-06 9 9.38222e-06 10 9.38222e-06 11 9.38222e-06 12 7.03666e-06 13 4.69111e-06 14 4.69111e-06 15 4.69111e-06 16 4.69111e-06 17 4.69111e-06 18 4.69111e-06 19 9.38222e-06 20 9.38222e-06 21 9.38222e-06 22 9.38222e-06 23 9.38222e-06 24 NaN 25 NaN 26 NaN 27 NaN 28 NaN 29 NaN 30 NaN 31 NaN
