ACS Reference File Tables

Reference files used by the ACS calibration pipeline (CALACS and PyDrizzle/MultiDrizzle) are updated on a regular basis. Current reference files files can be retrieved from the HST archive, or downloaded directly from the jref directory. See the logsheets for a detailed history of all ACS reference file deliveries and installations. The pixels affected by these reference files are generally identified by data quality flags in the [DQ] extension of calibrated FITS data.

Sensitivity and Throughput Tables
Throughput tables used to populate photometric keywords in image headers. Also used by Synphot & the exposure time calculators.

ACS Bias Reference Images
Superbias images for subtracting bias structure.

ACS Cosmic Ray Rejection
Parameters for rejecting cosmic rays from CR-SPLIT images

ACS CCD Tables
Converts commanded properties to calibrated values for each CCD amplifier.

ACS Distortion Correction Tables
Parameters for geometric distortion correction.

SBC Linearity
Parameters for determining linearity in MAMA images.

ACS Residual Geometric Distortion Images
Correct residual geometric distortion

Data quality flags
Flags used to identify bad and corrected pixels in the data quality arrays of all ACS data.
Mantained by ACS Group (html)
