Scientific paper

Structures outside the optical path of the detector FOV and the surfaces of optical elements could scatter significant light from bright sources onto the UVIS CCD. Such structures are oversized by typically a few mm relative to the FOV?s beam. The beam footprint of a source outside the FOV can overlap the edges of those structures, which will cause light to be scattered onto the detector. This on orbit test will: 1} verify that release of gravitational stress has not changed the detector mask by comparison with similar ground tests, 2} assess the far wing stray light from a sources outside the CCD FOV, 3} note any sources of stray light in the near and far field that were not noted during ground test, and 4} assess the surface brightness of the off-chip target PSF relative to the on-chip PSF.;
