Service Notice
Subject: CADC/CANFAR authentication downtime — Saturday, Sept 13 (12:00–8:00 pm PT)
Essential network maintenance in Victoria will take place on Saturday, Sept 13, from 12:00–8:00 pm Pacific Time. During this window, any CADC/CANFAR service that requires authentication will be unavailable (e.g., logins to portals, token issuance, authenticated APIs/Python Client/CLI jobs). Please plan accordingly and avoid starting jobs that need credentials during the outage. Other service access may also be affected. Thank you for your patience.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ixxxxxxx0_asn.fits | _ASN.FITS | Association file for observation set | RAW | i9zl45010_asn.fits | |
