WFC / UVIS 2014 - 23 hst 2 galign : an Automated Galaxy - based Alignment Routine
نویسنده
چکیده
This brief document describes the procedure by which the individual images in the Frontier Fields program have been aligned in order to enable the self-calibration procedure (which will be described in a separate document). Along with this document, we will release the FORTRAN source code (hst2galign) that accomplishes the alignment. The source code is provided as-is, with no guarantee that it will work on any particular data set. However, it should work “out of the box” on datasets that are similar to the Frontier Fields.

WFC 3 2008 - 32 WFC 3 Optical Alignment Characterization in Thermal - Vacuum Test # 3
We have performed an assessment of the optical alignment of the WFC3 instrument in its final flight configuration, including the UVIS-1’ and IR-4 detectors, during the 3 thermal-vac test in March 2008. Both detectors are found to be aligned to well within tolerance in all degrees of freedom. The corrector settings, after adjustment to optimize image quality, are within the budgeted range for gr...
متن کاملWFC 3 UVIS PSF Evaluation in Thermal - Vacuum Test # 3
We have assessed the image quality of the WFC3 UVIS channel in a flight-like thermalvacuum environment, and with its flight detector installed. Point source measurements at 16 field positions and four wavelengths indicate excellent imaging performance for the UVIS channel. Encircled energies readily meet expectations over the field, with CASTLE stimulus illumination. Models including the mid-fr...
متن کاملUsing global PSF properties to probe the WFC 3 UVIS
This ISR briefly reviews how the WFC3 UVIS channel focus and alignment impact the PSF. The aim is to verify whether we can identify any simple PSF measurement that would allows to monitor these quantities. We find that the centering of the PSF within a pixel is a crucial parameter that needs to be calibrated or corrected for and that PSF sharpness is the most promising parameter.

Gravitational lensing is an important tool for probing the mass distribution of galaxies. In this letter we report the discovery of a new quadruple lens HST 1411+5211 found in archived WFPC2 images of the galaxy cluster CL140933+5226. If the galaxy is a cluster member then its redshift is z = 0.46. The images of the source appear unresolved in the WFC implying that the source is a quasar. We ha...
متن کاملStructural Parameters for Globular Clusters in NGC 5128. II: HST/ACS Imaging and New Clusters
We report the first results from an imaging program with the ACS camera on HST designed to measure the structural characteristics of a wide range of globular clusters in NGC 5128, the nearest giant elliptical galaxy. From 12 ACS/WFC fields, we have measured a total of 62 previously known globular clusters and have discovered 69 new high-probability cluster candidates not found in any previous
