Performance
Scientific paper
The Wide Field Camera 3 was installed into the Hubble Space Telescope in May 2009. Our presentation discusses the performance of the WFC3 near infrared slitless spectroscopy mode, improvements to the definition and use of detector subarrays, and recent experiments aimed at determining the limits of high contrast imaging. We also discuss the implementation status of a new mode to achieve very high signal to noise observations of bright sources in the infrared channel via controlled motion of the telescope. This offers the potential for high S/N photometry and spectroscopy of very bright targets with excellent time resolution.
