This library is deprecated and the repository has been archived.

For all properly maintained WFC3 notebooks, please see HST Notebooks.**

Here the user will find the latest Python-based software notebooks for the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). For our primary WFC3 user-support tools, see wfc3tools and WFC3 Software Tools.

WFC3Library is the primary repository for Jupyter notebooks, including general tools, WFC3/IR, time variable background (TVB), and photometry. This repository contains the complementary notebooks mentioned in the WFC3 Data Handbook. These notebooks include:

General Tools:

• WFC3 Image Displayer and Analyzer
• Exception Report Checklist - WFC3
• Processing WFC3/UVIS Data with calwf3 Using the v1.0 CTE-Correction

WFC3/IR:

• Masking Persistence in WFC3/IR Images
• How to use wfc3_dash on DASH data

WFC3/IR Time Variable Background (TVB):

• WFC3/IR IMA Visualization Tools with an Example of Time Variable Background
• Manual Recalibration of Images using calwf3: Turning off the WFC3/IR Linear Ramp Fit
• Correcting for Helium Line Emission Background in WFC3/IR Exposures using the "Flatten-Ramp" Technique
• Correcting for Scattered Light in WFC3/IR Exposures: Manually Subtracting Bad Reads
• Correcting for Scattered Light in WFC3/IR Exposures: Using calwf3 to Mask Bad Reads

Photometry:

• WFC3/UVIS Filter Transformations with stsynphot
• Flux Unit Conversions with synphot and stsynphot
• Synthetic Photometry Examples for WFC3
• WFC3/UVIS Time-dependent Photometry
• Calculating WFC3 Zeropoints with stsynphot
• WFC3/UVIS Pixel Area Map Corrections for Subarrays

Each folder in notebooks has an individual README.md with further details and a HTML file that can be opened in a browser after cloning this repository. The HTML file is identical to the notebook, except they contain output plots and tables.
