Scientific paper
GRW+70d5824 is observed shortly before and after a DECON through all the UV filters in each chip and through F160BW crossed with F130LP, F185LP, and F165LP (where applicable) to determine the wavelength dependence of the throughput across the bandpass (hence color terms). Based on no particular cycle 4 program, this program is designed to better characterize the spectral response curve in the UV, and the spectral shape introduced by the contamination. Overall discrepencies between the updated synthetic photometric products and the results of this test should be 1-2% rms. This does not mean that the UV throughput will be known to this accuracy primarily because of uncertainties in the flux calibration of the standard used (5%) uncertainties in the UV flatfields (maybe 3% near the chip center), and time dependent contamination corrections (3% error), and uncertainties in the CTE correction (2%). The derived UV absolute photometry accuracy at the center of the chips should therefore be about 10%. After pipeline processing, each image will be reduced by aperture photometry. The throughput curves and their normalizations can be updated by trial and error. Expected to run 8/95. NOTE: crossed filters exposures should be observed in ALL chips after decontamination, but just in WF3 before decontamination.
