14.5 WFC3 Aperture Coordinate System
Figures 14.1 and 14.2 illustrate the locations of the UVIS and IR apertures. In the figures, the outlines of the full-detector apertures of both the UVIS and IR channels are indicated, as projected onto the sky and with respect to the HST U2-U3 coordinate system.
Figure 14.1: UVIS Aperture Diagram
Figure 14.1 illustrates the fiducial points of the full-detector apertures (UVIS, UVIS1, UVIS2, and UVIS-CENTER), and the outlines of the 2Kx2K, 1Kx1K, and 512x512 subarray apertures. Also indicated are the positions of the four readout amplifiers (A, B, C, and D). The regions imaged by the UVIS detector (represented by blue fill) and by the IR detector (represented by red fill) are also indicated. The POSition TARGet coordinate system for the UVIS-CENTER aperture, with its origin at that aperture's fiducial point, is illustrated. Although the POSition TARGet coordinate systems for the other apertures are not illustrated, they are oriented the same, but have origins at each aperture's fiducial point.
Figure 14.2: IR Aperture Diagram
Figure 14.2 illustrates the fiducial points of two of the full-detector apertures (IR and IR-FIX), and the outlines of the concentric subarray apertures (512x512, 256x256, 128x128, and 64x64). The regions imaged by the UVIS detector (represented by blue fill) and by the IR detector (represented by red fill) are also indicated. The POSition TARGet coordinate system for the IR-FIX Aperture, with its origin at that aperture's fiducial point, is illustrated. Although the POSition TARGet coordinate systems for the other apertures are not illustrated, they are oriented the same, but have origins at each aperture's fiducial point.
