| Description: The MVIC calibrated data are not converted to physical units, because the conversion applied depends on the general spectrum of the object being converted and whether it is resolved. For resolved sources, the conversion produces data in units of radiance. For unresolved sources, the conversion results in units of flux (irradiance). This attribute contains the appropriate physical units for the conversion constants in the class in which it is contained to produce either radiance or flux units, as appropriate, when the conversion is applied. A description of how to convert from data values to physical units is provided in the "New Horizons SOC to Instrument Pipeline ICD" document. |
