WFPC2 Stellar Photometry with HSTphot
نویسنده
چکیده
HSTphot, a photometry package designed to handle the undersampled PSFs found in WFPC2 images, is introduced and described, as well as some of the considerations that have to be made in order to obtain accurate PSF-fitting stellar photometry with WFPC2 data. Tests of HSTphot’s internal reliability are made using multiple observations of the same field, and tests of external reliability are made by comparing with DoPHOT reductions of the same data. Subject headings: techniques: photometric

The Dependence of WFPC2 Charge Transfer Efficiency on Background Illumination
We have examined the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) of WFPC2's CCDs near the end of mission as a function of background illumination. Internal lamps were used to flash the CCDs before or after external exposures of ! Cen to produce average background signals of 0–160 e. These signals span the natural sky backgrounds observed in ~99% of archived WFPC2 science images. Most of the stellar flux l...
متن کاملThe Charge Transfer Efficiency and Calibration of WFPC 2 Andrew
A new determination of WFPC2 photometric corrections is presented, using HSTphot reduction of the WFPC2 Omega Centauri and NGC 2419 observations from January 1994 through March 2000 and a comparison with ground-based photometry. No evidence is seen for any position-independent photometric offsets (the " long-short anomaly "); all systematic errors appear to be corrected with the CTE and zero po...

متن کاملWFPC2 Calibration for Emission Line Images
Formulae for the flux calibration of WFPC2 emission lines are presented. The photometric information given in the header is not adequate, and does not consider the contamination due to neighbouring emission lines in the filter passband or by the continuum. The formulae were originally calibrated using groundbased images of the Orion Nebula. The photometric accuracy of the flux calibration proce...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Globular Cluster Systems in UGC 9799 and NGC 1129
We present a preliminary analysis of HST-WFPC2 observations of globular cluster systems in the two brightest galaxies, UGC 9799 (cD) and NGC 1129 (non-cD), located in the center of rich clusters. UGC 9799 is a cD galaxy located in the center of the massive Abell 2052 cluster at z=0.035, and is known to have the largest number of the globular clusters (N(total) ≈ 46, 000) and the highest specifi...
