incorrect:
Saturation is defined as a 5% deviation from an (idealized) linear response curve.correct:
Saturation is defined as 81% of hard saturation, where hard saturation is the maximum DN level achieved when signal is no longer detected.Figure 7.8 does not show up in the html version. Please refer to page no. 112 of the pdf version of NICMOS Instrument handbook
Links from alphabets at the top of index page do not work. This will be be corrected in the next version of the instrument handbook.
Detector temperatures are stored in the NDWTMP11 and NDWTMP13 keywords in the *_spt.fits files. For Cameras 1 and 2, use NDWTMP11; for Camera 3, use NDWTMP13.
This is incorrect. Please refer to Section 4.1.3 (end of page 4-13 in pdf version) for the correct statement.
The formula for 'approximate Vega normalized magnitude' at the end of this section (5th line from the bottom) is not correct. -1 should be replaced by ^-1. The correct formula can also be seen on page no. 5-9 of the pdf version of the NICMOS Data Handbook.
