1: Introduction

In this series of tests, we tested the performance of WFC3/UVIS instrument distortion coefficient table (IDCTAB) uab1537bi_idc.fits. This IDCTAB contains uniquely computed distortion solutions for 10 filters: F225W, F275W, F336W, F390W, F438W, F555W, F606W, F775W, F814W, and F850LP. All other filters use the values for F606W. NOTE: On many of the below plots, the name of the IDCTAB used is "210710_uvis_idc.fits". This was the final version of our internal development UVIS IDCTAB. It is functionally identical to the public version (uab1537bi_idc.fits) available from CDBS.

In order to test each of the unique distortion solutions, observations of Omega Centari were obtained using each of the above filters. Observations from each of the 9 filters (with the exception of F606W) were then run through the testing pipeline using the F606W observation as a common comparison image for all filters.

This test was designed to test the overall performance of the IDCTAB across the entire UVIS frame. To best accomplish this, all observations were of the exact same star field with the same orientation. All observations from the same visit, ensuring that they all used the same guide star pair, and thus ensuring that all observations had the same rotation angle. Additionally, all observations had no X or Y POSTRG shift, ensuring that each image would have as close as technically possible to identical pointing. Additional details of the observations used for this test can be found in the summary table below.
