Photometric Sensitivity

Photometric Sensitivity is the minimum detectable flux or radiant power of electromagnetic radiation in specific infrared wavelengths that a space-based infrared observatory can reliably measure, distinguishing it from other observational capabilities by quantifying the instrument's ability to detect weak astronomical sources under given noise conditions.
