HST WFC3 Filenames
Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 filenames
WFC3 filenames
Note: The WFC3 files names are all starting with the letter 'I'
Note: The 9th character of an association of simple observation is always '0' at CADC
Note: Please consult the full documentation.
The suffixes used for WFC3 raw and calibrated data products are described in the following and closely mimic those used by ACS and NICMOS.
For a unique observation
CADC file names (proxy) | File Suffix | Description | Units | Type | Access Example |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ixxxxxxxx_raw.fits | _RAW.FITS | Raw data | DN | RAW | i9zl53i0q_raw.fits |
ixxxxxxxx_spt.fits | _SPT.FITS | Telescope and WFC3 telemetry and engineering data | RAW | i9zl53i0q_spt.fits | |
ixxxxxxxx_trl.fits | _RAW.FITS | Trailer file with processing log | RAW | i9zl53i0q_trl.fits | |
ixxxxxxxx_flt.fits | _FLT.FITS | Calibrated, flat-fielded individual exposure | electrons (UVIS) / electrons/s (IR) | CAL | i9zl53i0q_flt.fits |
ixxxxxxxx_flt_hlet.fits | _FLT_HLET.FITS | Headerlet header for mapping geometric distorsion | CAL | i9zl53i0q_flt_hlet.fits | |
ixxxxxxxx_ima.fits | _IMA.FITS | Calibrated intermediate MultiAccum IR exposure | electrons | CAL | i9zl53i0q_ima.fits |
For a composite observation (9th character is '0')
CADC file names (proxy) | File Suffix | Description | Units | Type | Access Example |
