Scientific paper

Using data collected during Servicing Mission Observatory Verification (SMOV) and Cycle 17, we have created an updated bad pixel mask for WFC3's IR channel. The bad pixel table contains flags that mark the position of pixels which are dead, unstable, have a bad zeroth read value, or are affected by "blobs". In all, 20,700 of the science pixels (2.0%) are flagged as bad. Observers are encouraged to dither their observations as a means of lessening the effects of these bad pixels.
