ACS Bias Reference Images

WFC superbias
HRC superbias


See ACS ISR 2004-07 for details on the production of ACS superbias and superdark reference files.

Since launch (March 2002), a WFC and HRC superbias has typically been produced for every week or biweek. The "best" superbias is typically available for use in the pipeline 2-3 weeks after an observation date. ACS users are advised to retrieve (or re-retrieve) their data via OTFR after the best superbias is available.
