WFC3 Readiness Outline

Team responsibilities, role, and organizationCommissioning Strategy and ContingenciesScience PrioritiesSTScI WFC3 SM4 SupportSMOV

– 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

17

WFC3 Team RoleWFC3 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

18

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

19

Commissioning StrategyWFC3 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

20

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

21

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

22

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)

23

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

24

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

25

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 ACSEarly 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

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

32

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

33

Other activitiesDocumentation (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)

34

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

35

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 DresselCalibration

– 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

36

ConclusionsWFC3 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)

~ 2.3 FTEs (80%) for 5 months for the COS/STIS teamDeliverables:

– Updated Science Instrument Aperture File (SIAF)– At least 7 reference files will be updated for use with CALSTIS

• New superbiases and superdarks for CCD• Updates to ccd parameters table (ccdtab)

– Readnoise– Charge transfer inefficiency coefficients

• Updated NUV MAMA dark correction vs. temperature • All modes: updated time dependence for sensitivities

– About 10 TIRs & ISRs• Reports for some activities will be combined

– 2 EROs will use STISWe will prioritize the work in the following way:

– CCD spectroscopy & MAMA echelles– MAMA 1st order modes, PRISM & imaging modes

57


Software and TrainingPipeline software and standard analysis procedures already in placeAbout 60% of the specialized scripts and software needed for SMOV

analysis already in place and tested.– Remainder to be completed by September 30, 2008

Identified data storage requirements on central storage and established accounts for all the personnel involved

COS/STIS team members currently familiarizing themselves with relevant STIS comparison data and analysis techniques; this is a large effort due to the high fraction (> 50%) of new team members working on STIS that have joined the group within the last year

58


Ground System & PipelineAssociation of GO-WAVECALS has been implemented in OPUS

2008.3. This will allow CALSTIS to use GO-specified wavecals when auto-wavecals are turned off.

Automatic delivery of IR Fringe flats with science data and insertion of the flat name into the science header has been implemented into OPUS 2008.3

Archive requests for new STIS data will go through OTFR, but requests for older data will go through static archive

Cumulative Image for STIS MAMAs will not be reinstalled until OPUS 2009.1 – new implementation will be more tolerant of missing datasets

Instrument Readiness

ACS-R Milestones (all completed):

• Thermal Vacuum testing (July, August)• VEST - 2nd,3rd Sept• SMGT - 4,5th Sept• Pre-ship review - 8th Sept• Shipped to KSC - 9th Sept

63

Summary of TV Results

• Read noise during TV testing with Ops Bench is slightly higher (~0.5 e-) than during ambient testing BUT still better than/or equivalent to ACS pre-failure read noise

• Linearity and full well measured - performance as expected

• Small bias drift observed with Dual-Slope Integrator - effect is small (0.1% effect on average intensity in the image) and may or may not require correction. Algorithm to correct for bias drift already developed - needs tweaking using on-orbit data

Decision points• These are the main decision points we will need to pass during the first

few weeks of SMOV (approximate dates for an October 10 launch)

– TBD (after the SM4 FT) Two-detector mode

– 10/23 FPGA data transfer rate

– 10/28 (after analysis of the data of the first iteration)• Execution of optimization campaign (decision matrix on next page)• Change of default CDS for optimization campaign

– 10/30 Changes to 2nd week of optimization campaign

– 11/6 Changes/removal of 3rd week of optimization campaign

– TBD End of optimization campaign • Clamp and Sample vs Dual slope for SMOV and Science

• Decision based on overall performance

74

Decision Matrix

75

ACS Priorities

Determined by:• Cycle 17 demand (WFC ~20%; HRC ~4%)• SMOV requirements (SBC needed):

Top priority - WFC + optimization campaign

- Monitoring UV contamination with SBC

Low priority - HRC + coronagraph

(HRC activities could be delayed e.g. if WFC optimization is not fully successful)

76

If difficulties arise:CCD Anneal - may need to develop alternative strategies if the heaters cannot be operated.

WFC readout noise is higher than expected:•Plans in place to review affected ACS Cycle 17 proposals (being identified by Phase II reviewers now)•Consider introducing half-speed readout mode in Cycle 18

HRC does not function:•All HRC and WFC activities are either separate SMOV proposals or visits - minimal disruption to SMOV plan.•Affected Cycle 17 proposals will be reviewed to determine if the science can be executed with other instruments.

77

Data Analysis Plans•Most of the data will be analyzed using well established procedures developed before ACS failure•Some new scripts have been written (e.g. analysis of FT data) and these have been tested during JIS/TV•The results of many of the analyses will be compared with results before ACS failure (e.g. CTE, sensitivity, flat-field stability, geometric distortion)

•Data obtained just prior to SM4 has/will be analyzed prior to SM4

•Regular team meetings are being held to ensure readiness for the data analysis aspects

78

Products

• CCD parameters (read-out noise, bias levels, gain)• Reference files - (e.g. darks, flat-fields, sensitivities, CTE,

geometric distortion coefficients) • ISRs and TIRs• Updates to IHB• Updates to web pages

Conclusion: The ACS team is ready to support SM4 and SMOV

NICMOS SMOV4 TeamOverview

STScI NICMOS Team, incl assignment leads:– Elizabeth Barker (Thermal characterization)

– Eddie Bergeron– Tomas Dahlen (FOM test, Read noise & dark current)

– Roelof de Jong (photometry)

– Dave Golimowski (coronagraphy)

– Anton Koekemoer (NICMOS Team Lead; aperture locations)

– Nor Pirzkal (grisms)– Deepashri Thatte– Alex Viana– Tom Wheeler (Engineering: NCS, Activation, Filter Wheel)

– Tommy Wiklind (NICMOS SMOV4 Lead; focus, plate scale, stability)

NICMOS IDT (U.Az.):– Glenn Schneider (coronagraphy)

– Rodger Thompson (grisms)

81

NICMOS Operations through SM4

Before SM4 - NICMOS will continue to operate as normal, with one exception:– About 4 weeks prior to SM4 the NCS will be turned off for a

NSSC-I FSW upgrade. NCS will be off for 18-24 hours and then turned back on again.

– The impact on the dewar temperature will be small. A cool-down time of 48 hours should ensure a return to nominal detector temperature (77.15K).

During SM4:– NICMOS will not be directly involved in any EVA activities, but

during EVA4 (STIS repair) the astronauts will work in the vicinity of NICMOS and the NCS.

– NICMOS Team representative present during EVA4 in case activities involve NICMOS/NCS. Participated in JIS2 in May 2008.

82

NICMOS Warm-up & Cool-down

The most critical issue for NICMOS is to minimize the warm-up, and cool down the dewar following NCS startup:

– The NCS will be off for 9 days, resulting in a dewar warm-up of ~120K (dewar temperature ~200K).

– Uncertain due to small amount of data and large dispersion.

– Jan 1999 warm-up different due to residual cryogenics.

83

NICMOS Warm-up & Cool-down

Cool–down of the NICMOS dewar (from 3 NCS start-ups)

Red curve = weighted average of the Ne inlet and outlet temperatures

A cool–down period of 14 days will be more than sufficient to reach the nominal temperature of 77.15K.

Specific Concerns for NICMOS SMOV4

NCS cool down time– Two weeks should be sufficient to reach nominal

detector temperature (with a margin), but all previous warm-up/cool-down event have been different from each other

Deformation of the dewar/optical path– Thermally induced deformation could lead to large

and unforeseen corrections to PAM/FOM and aperture locations/optical plate scale

92

SummaryNICMOS SM4 Readiness

– All SMOV4 proposals are ready

– The data analysis teams are defined

– Analysis software routines are being tested

– NICMOS will be ERO/Science enabled by the end of SMOV week 5 (but photometrically uncalibrated)

– NICMOS will be coronagraphic enabled by the end of SMOV4

– Photometric and Grism calibration to be done as SMOV Carry-over Calibration program early in Cycle 17

93

SI-to-FGS alignment• Locations and Orientations in HST V frame are determined during SMOV as part of each SI’s SMOV plan.• Worked with SI teams to produce and “PIT” SI-FGS alignment proposals.• Will perform the analyses to determine resulting values (with E. Kimmer et al/GSFC & SI teams,STScI).• Will update SCIOPSDB/SIAF tables with calibration results (with OED/STScI).

• Procedures, timescales, and responsibilities in this area are understood and agreed-upon. Involved staff have experience and familiarity with this process from past Servicing Missions and focal plane calibrations.

3. HST Focus• We are entering SMOV with the OTA stable and well-focused for the existing complement of SIs, fulfilling an

assumption of the SMOV Requirements.• As a result, if the locations of the focal surfaces in ACS, STIS, and NICMOS have not been altered, then the

COS and WFC3 focusing activities during SMOV (covered under their plans) should result in good confocality among all the SIs without additional coordination.

• We will support the SI teams if needed with PSF examinations, including phase retrieval, especially for the existing SIs, whose optical characteristics on orbit are well-established.

• OTA-level contingencies (e.g. WFC3 focus found outside viable range) and possible responses have been identified. A team would be formed to investigate and recommend course of action to HSTP.

• FGS/OTA at STScI is “go” for SMOV4, with no outstanding concerns.

Press Release

Special Session at AAS– Monday, 5 January 2009

Concurrent event at GSFC

All completed EROs will be shown at Special Session *Image processing needs to be completed by ~30

December 10 working days available for nominal schedule

*contingent on launch schedule

110

Delay Contingencies

Short launch delay (<2 weeks) – No issues with target visibility– Potentially serious compression of analysis time - risk of not

being able to process all EROs for AAS

Long launch delay (>1 month)– ERO orient constraints will require reprocessing– Possible increase in total orbit allocation– Some targets not observable– AAS press release not possible
