Duplication Policy• http://herschel.esac.esa.int/Docs/Herschel/pdf/
Duplications_v1.0.pdf
• “In general, two observations are considered to be potential duplications if they are executed on the same position of the sky and covering the same spectral region” – “same photometric filter for imaging”– “same spectral line/range for line/range spectroscopy”– Both observations are performed with the same instrument and
AOT– See document for PACS/SPIRE parallel mode observations
• UNLESS– “The areas in the sky covered by two proposed imaging
observations do not overlap by more than 25% of either of the fields/areas being compared”
– “The integration time per area of the sky for each observation differs by at least a factor of 4 (corresponding to a factor of 2 in sensitivity”

Duplication Policy• UNLESS (cont’d)
– “The spectral range covered by two proposed spectroscopic observations do not overlap by more than 25% of either of the spectral ranges being compared.”
– In the case of line/range spectroscopy the integration time on the same spectral line/range differs by at least a factor of 4 (corresponding to a factor of 2 in sensitivity)
• EXCEPTION– “One natural exception to the above policy are observations of
time-variable phenomena.”
• Instrument/Mode– AOT Release status– http://herschel.esac.esa.int/AOTsReleaseStatus.shtml
