FOS Post-Operational Archive and STIS Calibration Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first part of this report summarizes the scientific quality enhancement for FOS/BL data—the Post-Operational Archive project. Part two describes the status and planning for the follow up, a calibration enhancement for the 66,095 data sets obtained with STIS between 1997 and 2001 when it was operated using “Side 1 electronics.”

The On-Orbit Optical Performance of STIS
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) is a versatile, general purpose instrument installed aboard the Hubble Space Telescope in February, 1997. During the following Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV) period, STIS has been made operational and aligned, and initial checkout and calibration completed. The overall optical performance goals have largely been achieved and a summa...
متن کاملSTIS Calibration Enhancement: Wavelength Calibration and CTI
The Instrument Physical Modeling Group in the Space Telescope European Co-ordinating Facility has undertaken to examine aspects of STIS calibration and develop physical model based solutions where appropriate. Here we discuss two such aspects and the status of the model based solutions. The first concerns the derivation of dispersion solutions for the echelle spectroscopy modes. The second corr...
متن کاملINSTITUTE Instrument Science Report STIS 2009 - 02 STIS CCD Performance after SM 4 : Read Noise , Dark Current , Hot Pixel Annealing , CTE , Gain , and Spectroscopic Sensitivity
We describe the overall performance of the STIS CCD after HST Servicing Mission #4 and the associated updates to calibration reference files. Most aspects of CCD performance are found to be fairly consistent with extrapolations of the trends seen prior to the failure of STIS in August 2004. The CCD gain value for the CCDGAIN = 4 setting has been redetermined using net count ratios of standard s...
متن کاملApplication of Model Derived Charge Transfer Inefficiency Corrections to STIS Spectroscopic CCD Data
The ST-ECF Calibration Enhancement effort for the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aims to improve data calibration via the application of physical modelling techniques. As part of this effort we have developed a model of the STIS CCD readout process. The model itself is described in some detail in earlier ISRs. Here we consider the application to STIS spectroscopic data. We find goo...
متن کاملExtraction Slits for First-Order STIS Spectra
ABSTRACT: Measurements of enclosed energy vs. extraction slit height and numerical simulations for first-order STIS spectra demonstrate the dependence of signal-to-noise (S/N) on the extraction slit height for different gratings, wavelengths, and signal levels. Slit heights of 11 pixels for G140L and G230L, and 7 pixels for the three CCD first-order modes are a reasonable compromise between pho...
