... As of early 2013, after about 4 years in orbit, the horizontal positions of bright stars are affected at the 0.0015-pixel level, and fainter stars are affected at the 0.004-pixel level. ... These eight exposures were acquired at orientations differing by ~10 degrees and/or dithers differing by 1000 pixels, such that stars that are close to the interamplifier boundary in one observation are far from it in the others. ... The typical exposure had 150,000 identifiable stars. ...

Instrument Science Report WFC3 2014-10 Improved TinyTIM Models for WFC3/IR J. Biretta May 08, 2014 AB STRACT We use TinyTIM version 7.4 to model a star image near the center of the WFC3/IR detector, subtract the model from the observed star, examine the residuals, and suggest changes to the TinyTIM parameters to improve the fit. The largest errors appear related to the pupil cold mask parameters and we derive improved values for those. ... Improved TinyTIM Cold Mask Parameters. ...

Instrument Science Report WFC3 2014-19 Sink Pixels and CTE in the WFC3/UVIS Detector Jay Anderson and Sylvia Baggett June 13, 2014 ABSTRACT Post-flashed calibration products have highlighted a previously undocumented type of image defect, which we call "sink pixels" (SPs). These pixels apparently contain a number of charge traps, and as such they under-report the number of electrons that were generated in them during the exposure. ... DO SPS TRAP CHARGE FROM UPSTREAM PIXELS? ...
Instrument Science Report WFC3 2014-24 Instrument Science Report ACS 2014-03 Local Pixel Bundles: Bringing the Pixels to the People Jay Anderson Dec 9, 2014 ABSTRACT The automated galaxy-based alignment software packaged developed for the Frontier Fields program (hst2galign, see Anderson & Ogaz 2014 and http://www.stsci.edu/hst/campaigns/frontier-fields/) produces a direct mapping from the pixels of the flt frame of each science exposure into a common master frame. ...
... Flux loss due to CTE degradation is a function of the source's distance from the amplifier, the source signal level, the background within the image, and the epoch of the observations. The worst-case flux losses occur in images with extremely low backgrounds. ... Applying the empirical pixel-based CTE correction algorithm can also reduce flux losses: to ~10+/-1% and ~0+/-1% (unflashed images, no background) and to 3+/-1% and 0.5+/-1% (post-flashed), for the faint and bright sources, respectively. ...

Gosmeyer, Sylvia Baggett July 08, 2015 A BSTRACT A series of internal flat field images and standard star observations were obtained to check the shutter performance. ... Our observations are consistent with the earlier finding that the variation in exposure time across the detector due to shutter shading is less than 0.1%. ... In Fig. 6 we plot the photometry for different exposure times in separate bins. ...
HST WFC3: UVIS Charge-Transfer Efficiency Losses: Mitigation and Correction! ... BACKGROUND The WFC3/UVIS CCD detector started showing signs of charge-transfer efficiency This has been traced to the fact that CTE losses are even worse than expected images can be extremely low, on account of its extremely low dark current and the narrow-band filters, more efficient short exposures, etc.) ... THE INITIAL ACS PIXEL BASED CTE MODEL 1) Assume that warm pixels (WPs) are initially delta functions. ...

HST WFC3: UVIS Dark Calibration! ... We present the various procedures and results of the WFC3/UVIS dark calibration, which monitors the health and stability of the UVIS detector, provides characterization of hot pixels and dark current, and produces calibration files to be used as a correction for dark current in science images. ... We outline the current algorithm for creating UVIS dark calibration files, which includes aggressive cosmic ray masking, image combination, and hot pixel flagging. ...
