ExoPlanet Exploration Program HOSTS Survey 10The technical data in this document is controlled under the U.S. Export Regulations, release to foreign persons may require an export authorization.

ExoPlanet Exploration Program PLRA Performance Goals For full success, the LBTI project shall: –Survey the exozodiacal flux of 50 nearby stars with a 1  noise equivalent corresponding to 3 times the signal due to the zodiacal dust in our own planetary system (3 zodi) (HOSTS survey) –Complete the HOSTS survey within 4 years after completion of commissioning (integration and testing [I & T]) 11The technical data in this document is controlled under the U.S. Export Regulations, release to foreign persons may require an export authorization.

ExoPlanet Exploration Program PLRA Instrument Requirements The threshold performance requirements to be met by the LBTI instrument shall include: 1.Photometric sensitivity (1  ): 0.3 mJy, over bandpass (standard N’ filter), to be reached during the elementary per-star observing sequence 2.Calibrated null stability (1  ) of 1.5x10 -4 (planned null depth 1x10 -3 ), 2 to be reached for a full calibration cycle. The elementary observing sequence includes measurements to calibrate the background and provide flux normalization, and is expected to last about 30 min with 30% duty cycle, resulting in about 10 min of integration time. A full calibration cycle will typically include three such observing sequences of the target star, bracketed by observing sequences on calibrator stars. 12The technical data in this document is controlled under the U.S. Export Regulations, release to foreign persons may require an export authorization.
