ABSTRACT:We present the final reduction and calibration of the FIRBACK ISOPHOT data.
FIRBACK is a deep cosmological survey performed at 170 mu m.
This paper deals
with the ISOPHOT C200 camera with the C160 filter.
We review the whole data
reduction process and compare our final calibration with DIRBE (for the extended
emission) and IRAS (for point sources).
The FIRBACK source extraction and
galaxy counts is discussed in a companion paper (Dole et
al.
\cite{Doleprep}).
Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA
Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, The
Netherlands and the UK) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.
