Scientific paper

We present the results of the first optical ghost testing on the WFC3 UVIS channel, performed as part of the mini-calibration that took place in December 2003 and January 2004. Overall, the optical performance of the UVIS channel is very good, with most of the 62 filters showing the expected low level of ghosting. However, a small subset of the filters show ghosting that is more problematic, due to the morphology and strength of the ghosts. We review the results of the mini-calibration ghost tests and describe the initial work to address the problem filters.
