Ratio of NICMOS to WFC3 fluxes for G102 (upper panel, 12 stars) and G141 (lower panel, 13 stars). The flux for each star is averaged over the broad bands of 9000-11000 Angstroms for G102 and over 12000-14000 Angstroms for G141. The X-axis is the same average WFC3 flux used for the denominator of the ratios.  From Bohlin & Deustua 2019.

Overview

WFC3IR-FLUXCAL is a collection of 19 spectral energy distributions (SEDs) using HST WFC3IR grism spectroscopy.  Two IR grisms, G102 and G141, cover a wavelength range from 0.8-1.7 microns at a resolution of R=200 and R=150, respectively.  These WFC3 SEDs overlap existing CALSPEC STIS flux distributions between 0.8-1.0 microns and agree within 1%.  The SEDs for the 19 targets are provided in both FITS and ASCII text format.  A table of sensitivities is also provided for both grisms.  Extracted signals should be divided by these sensitivity values to obtain absolute fluxes, after correcting for changes in sensitivity with time and count rate non-linearity (see Bohlin & Deustua 2019 for complete instructions on how to apply the corrections provided by this HLSP).

Description Of Data Products

Each of the 19 targets has both a FITS and TXT version of their calibrated SED available.  In addition, there are two tables containing the sensitivity values for the G102 and G141 grisms as derived from this HLSP.

Data file naming convention:

hlsp_wfc3ir-fluxcal_hst_wfc3_<target>_<grisms>_v1_<exten>

where:

  • <target> = name of the target, "all" for the sensitivity tables
  • <grisms> = grisms applicable for the file, either "g102", "g141", or "g102-g141"
  • <exten> = type of file

Data file types:

_sed.fits spectral energy distribution for a target (FITS format)
_sed.txt spectral energy distribution for a target (text format)
_sens.txt sensitivity lookup table for the given grism
