Q: How do I find the correct reference Transfer Function for the analysis of
my double star Transfer Function?
A: All available reference Transfer Functions are available from the FGS Transfer
Mode Calibration Products page. The calibration reference file used should
represent an observation taken through the same filter as the observed
Transfer Function. It should also be close to the same position in the field of
view and as close as possible in time to the observation. The target of the
reference file used should have a color index close to that of the science target.
Data taken after day 352 of 1993 should NOT use any reference files before
that date. Similarly, data taken before day 352 of 1993 should NOT use any
reference files after 18 Dec. 1993. [The secondary mirror of the Hubble Space
Telescope was moved on that date and the morphology of the Transfer
Function changed considerably as a result.]
