Abstract

HIPO is a special purpose instrument for SOFIA,the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy. It is a highspeed,imaging photometer that will be used for a variety oftime-resolved precise photometry observations,including stellar occultations by solar system objects and transits by extrasolar planets. HIPO will also be used during the test program for the SOFIA telescope, a process that began with a series of ground-based tests in2004. The HIPO requirements, optical design, overall description, and an early look atperformance and planned data acquisition modes have appeared in earlier papers (e.g. Dunham,et al., Proc. SPIE 5492, 592-603 (2004)). This paper provides an update to the instrumentdescription, final lab measurements of instrument performance, and a discussion of thedata produced by the various observing modes.
