Scientific paper

Using data taken during the 2009 Servicing Mission Observatory Verification (SMOV), we have analyzed the quality of the Thermal Vacuum 3 (TV3) derived flat fields for the F110W, F125W, F140W, and F160W filters. These ground-based flats are currently used in the standard calibration of all WFC3/IR observations. By comparing photometry results from a set of stars observed on orbit at multiple locations on the detector, we are able to quantify residual differences in detector response after the application of the TV3 flat fields. We find variations in photometry of up to 1.5% across the detector in all four filters.
