  14. WFC3 Readiness John MacKenty WFC3 - Instruments Division

  15. WFC3 Readiness Outline • Team responsibilities, role, and organization • Commissioning Strategy and Contingencies • Science Priorities • STScI WFC3 SM4 Support • SMOV • Team Organization and Development Status • Goals and Strategy • Timeline • Calibration • Calibration Products • Cycle 17 Calibration Planning • Science Operations • User Support: Contact Scientist Program • Documentation, Operations, Software & Data Processing • Grism Support • MultiDrizzle • Conclusions

  16. WFC3 Team Role • WFC3 team at STScI has responsibility for all aspects on instrument commissioning (no separate IDT) • Engineering support from STScI and WFC3 Project at GSFC • Randy Kimble will provide part time Science IPT support in SMOV • GSFC/DCL retains some detector experiment and analysis resources • ERO team responsible for conduct of ERO program • WFC3 SOC responsible for Early Release Science (feedback on calibrations) • ESA/ECF responsible via MOU for GRISM support and calibration • WFC3 team is organized into “tasks” with individual task leads and matrixed team members supporting each task. • Most team members have extensive experience with WFC3 ground testing • Resources planned to accommodate work peaks • Evolving model to incorporate 3-4 FTE growth in Sept/Oct timeframe

  17. Team Organization & Leads • Group Tasks: • SM4 Support: Larry Petro • SMOV: Andre Martel • TV3 Analysis: Howard Bushouse (complete prior to SM4) • Cycle 17 Calibration: Susana Deustua • Process Tasks: • Calibration Products: Sylvia Baggett • Software and Data Processing: Howard Bushouse • User Support: Cheryl Pavlovsky • Documentation: Jessica Kim Quijano • Operations Support: Larry Petro • Analysis Tasks: • Imaging: Linda Dressel • Photometry: Tom Brown • Detectors: Peter McCullough • Grisms: ECF with Howard Bushouse as interface

  18. Commissioning Strategy • WFC3 is by design an instrument with few modes • UVIS Channel: Imaging and Spectra • IR Channel: Imaging and Spectra • Engineering: UVIS Detector Anneal • Commissioning Sequence • Provide operational integrity of instrument (mechs, memory, etc). • Establish operating conditions (e.g. thermal setpoints for detectors) • Optical Alignment • ERO Science • Initial SMOV calibrations • “Easy” Science enabled • Science Oversight Committee Early Release Science starts • Remainder of SMOV calibrations • “Hard” Science enabled

  19. Contingency Plans • WFC3 SMOV design is primarily channel based • Failure of initial engineering tests would lead to side switch • Any CSM problems should be seen in SM4 FT • Either UVIS or IR commissioning can proceed without the other • One LOS stability program is joint to save orbits • Major risk areas within each channel • Detector cooling: margin exists to operate warmer • Detector noise: most of SMOV can proceed during analysis of cause • Limitations of ground test/calibration: • IR background relies upon models • Astrometric and Photometric stability (including “bowtie”) • UVIS Shutter jitter and IR EMI • Phased start to GO science observations • EASY = programs not pushing on risk areas (can overlap sci cal part of SMOV) • HARD = programs dependent upon performance in “risk areas” • Defer 2-3 months until SMOV determines if these programs require modification

  20. SM4 Support from STScI/WFC3 • Larry Petro (STScI WFC3 group) is responsible for organization of Sci IPT support and training, FT science contents, software tool development for FT analysis, and science performance assessment • Orbit Shift @ GSFC • Larry Petro on SI Console monitoring AT • George Hartig in Science room • Planning Shift @ GSFC • Howard Bushouse on SI Console monitoring FT • Conducts FT analysis in Science room • John MacKenty in Science room to assess Science Pass/Fail • Planning Shift @ STScI • Sylvia Baggett and Bryan Hilbert in STRESS to provide independent analysis of FT data

  21. SMOV Organization • Andre Martel is responsible for WFC3 SMOV coordination • SMOV Activity Summaries (DONE) • SMOV Phase 2 Proposals and PIT reviews (DONE) • SMOV Analysis Plan (DONE) • SMOV Scheduling support • SMOV analysis, reporting (daily and via ISRs) • SMOV final report • Entire team involved in SMOV support • Proposal PI’s mostly based on Thermal Vac activity leads • Observing strategy combination of TV and ACS/NICMOS • Analysis strategy follows TV (quicklook, ISR, products)

  22. SMOV Development Status • WFC3 SMOV development process complete • One new Activity Summary (WF44) was added • “UVIS Bowtie monitor” • 3x3 binned internal flats at 2x per day for first 4 months • DCL testing indicates 10x saturation may alleviate bowtie • Proposal does 0.5 – 10 – 0.5 full well flats in F475X • Activity Summary (WF41) IR photometry monitor was in the Phase 1 plan as a contingency – not implemented based on TV3 results • Current plan is ~160 external orbits

  23. WFC3 SMOV Strategy • WFC3 schedule paced by 21 day detector venting and Bright Earth avoidance periods prior to cooling detectors. • Three phase approach: • Engineering Checks and Detector cooldown • overlaps/follows 21 day venting period • Optical Alignment • Calibration • Bifurcated SMOV4 design to avoid linkage between UVIS and IR channels • Each can proceed at its own pace • Only linked test is the CSM check immediately after cooldown • Anticipated Schedule for Oct 10 SM4 launch • Detector cooldown 9 November • Early Release Observations taken first week of December • SOC Early Release Science start third week of December • GO Science Observations begin late December/early January

  24. WFC3 SMOV Drivers • Re-commissioning of HST observatory to resume science operations at the earliest possible date • Without undue risk of obtaining unsatisfactory data • Acquire Early Release Observations to demonstrate results of SM4 to public • Detectors • Vent detector enclosures for 21 days per CARD • WFC3 in Protect/Safe to keep optics as warm as possible • HST in BEA to protect WFC3 Pick-Off-Mirror • Cool detectors to planned operating temperatures • Demonstrate we can reach and maintain for at least Cy17 -83C (UVIS) and -128C (IR) • Look at overall WFC3 thermal behavior – correlate TV3 performance and tune if needed • Establish optical alignment using same approach as ACS • Early Calibrations • Internal flat fields dependent upon (potentially) limited life D2 lamp • Photometric zero points to avoid taking overexposed science observations • Resolve issues for Cy18 CP • Remaining TV3 unknowns: bowtie, shutter jitter, LOS stability • Initiate key monitors • Hot pixel anneal, UV throughput/contamination, CTE

  25. WFC3 SMOV Timeline (1)

  26. WFC3 SMOV Timeline (2)

  27. Calibration Products • Calibration Products team is responsible for generating and validating products for Pipeline and Synphot: • Sylvia Baggett (lead) • Tom Brown: instrument model, Synphot updates • Howard Bushouse: pipeline expert, ECF/Grism interface • Susana Deustua: photometric analysis • Linda Dressel: astrometric • Bryan Hilbert: flats, IR detector noise, gain, darks, linearity • Jessica Kim: flats and CCD detector • Cheryl Pavlovsky: flats and CCD detector • Vera Platais: astrometric, CCD CTE • Elena Sabbi: flats, photometric analysis • Initial load with dummy products in place for pipeline testing • Currently building pre-launch load based on TV3 (flight detectors)

  28. UVIS Calibration Products

  29. IR Calibration Products

  30. Cycle 17 Calibration • Cycle 17 Calibration plan Part 1 in development with Susana Deustua as lead • Based upon • Instrument Handbook promised calibrations • Needs of Cycle 17 GO and ERS science programs (from CS reviews) • Part 1 review scheduled for 29 September 2008 • Part 2 to be developed in Feb 2009 based on SMOV outcomes • Entire team involved in Cycle 17 Calibration plan development and execution • Analysis task and Calibration Product leads form core group

  31. User Support – CS Program • WFC3 group has a CS assigned for all proposals • Cheryl Pavlovsky leading User Support activities • Checklists • GO advice list on new issues since Dec 2007 Handbook release • Internal list of items to check/flag during CS reviews circulating w/in group • Key Strategy: WFC3 CS will “bin” proposals into EASY or HARD • Statistics: • 71 programs with prime visits • 30 programs with secondary (coordinated parallel) visits – all submitted • WFC3 group recently added ERO and GTO programs to CS support

  32. Other activities • Documentation (lead = Jessica Kim) • Data Handbook Chapter on WFC3 for 8 December • Susana Deustua, Howard Bushouse, Jessica Kim • Instrument Handbook update for Cy18 – Kim editor • WWW site maintenance • ISRs have been primary form of external communication • Operations Support (lead = Larry Petro) • Punchlist of open items maintained • Software and Data Processing (lead = Howard Bushouse) • Pipeline development • Pipeline testing • ETC and Synphot development and testing • Software tools (e.g. calibration automation)

  33. Grism Analysis • The WFC3 IR Grisms account for nearly as many scheduled orbits as the STIS instrument (352 orbits!) • The UV Grism is only used by a single SNAP proposal • The user support and calibration of the Grisms has been outsourced to the ESA/ECF team • They successfully supported TV2&3 plus Cy17 Phase 1 and 2 • Howard Bushouse is the STScI point of contact for the ECF • The UV Grism has many orders with spectral overlap • Difficult to use -- minimal effort is planned for SMOV & early Cy17 • No major issues are known with the IR Grisms • Ground and SMOV calibrations are in place

  34. MultiDrizzle • Multidrizzle important for WFC3 science and archive • WFC3 has greater geometric distortion than prior instruments • IR channel is 123 x 139 arc seconds FOV onto square detector • Users have become expert with image combination techniques • WFC3 pipeline designed to produce outputs ready for Multidrizzle (very similar to ACS) • WFC3 support for Multidrizzle lead by Linda Dressel • Calibration • SMOV provides initial geometric distortion and SI location data • Stability of these calibrations to be determined during SMOV/Cy17 • Testing • Thermal vac did not measure plate scale or distortion • Pre-launch database loaded with optical model derived data • Simulated WFC3 data successfully run in Multidrizzle • Full-up testing awaits on-orbit operations

  35. Conclusions • WFC3 team is ready for SMOV assuming nominal instrument performance • ERO timeline is challenging – especially geometric distortion for constructing mosaic images • Project should recognize that detailed understanding of the potential of WFC3 will probably not be in hand at time of AAS (~2-3 weeks later) • Team and Ground system is ready to support SM4 • FT analysis well practiced with realistic data from ground testing • Redundant analysis paths exist and have been tested • Team and Ground system is ready to support SMOV • Augmentations in process for central data store • Team well versed in processing WFC3 data from TV experience • Team and Ground system is ready for Cycle 17 science operations • Ground testing of geometric distortion and multi-drizzle limited in scope • Significant work post SM4 to obtain distortion calibration (schedule driver) • Multi-drizzle leverages ACS experience and is tested with WFC3 datasets • Future enhancements for efficiency are Cycle 18 issues (no Cy17 development)
