WFPC2
These pages contain instrument-specific information about the Wide-Field
Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), and are
maintained by the ACS/WFPC2 Group
in the Instruments Division at the Space Telescope Science Institute
(STScI). The WFPC2 is used to obtain
high resolution images of astronomical objects over a relatively wide
field of view and a broad range of wavelengths (1150 to 11,000 Å).

NEW 12/18/2009 - WFPC2 ISR 2009-07:
"Red Leak Characterization for the WFPC2 UV Filters" has been released.
NEW 12/17/2009 - WFPC2 ISR 2009-06:
"On-Orbit Photometric Calibration of the WFPC2 Linear Ramp Filters" has been released.
NEW 9/10/2009 - A new ACS+WFPC2 STAN has been
posted to the newsletters page.
NEW 5/18/2009 - WFPC2 ISR 2009-05:

NEW 4/30/2009 - WFPC2 ISR 2009-03:
"Pipeline Correction of Images Impacted by the WF4 Anomaly" has been released.
***Note that there is a new data quality flag value (2048 or bit 11) that is set for all pixels in images whose bias values are so low that they are unlikely
to be properly corrected.
NEW 4/1/2009 - WFPC2 ISR 2009-02:
"WFPC2 F343N Filter Throughput Decline" has been released.
NEW 3/27/2009 - The new MultiDrizzle Handbook has been released.
