20.4 Headers, Keywords, and Relationship to Phase II

As with previous HST instruments, the FITS header keywords in STIS data files store important information characterizing the observations and telemetry received during the observations and describe the post-observation processing of your dataset. Each keyword follows FITS conventions and is no longer than eight characters. Values of keywords can be integer, real (floating-point), or character string. Many are HST and STIS specific. Knowledge of the keywords and where to find them is an important first step in understanding your data. By examining your file headers, using either infostis, catfits, imhead, or hedit, you will find detailed information about your data including:

STIS takes CCD and MAMA spectroscopic and imaging data, as well as acquisitions and acq/peakups. The keywords relevant for one of these data types will not necessarily be relevant to another. Accordingly, you will find that the header on your particular file contains a unique combination of keywords appropriate for your type of observation. Long definitions for the keywords can also be accessed from the following Web page, which provides detailed explanations of the contents and algorithm for populating the keywords. This site also provides sample headers for different STIS file types:

http://archive.stsci.edu/keyword

Keywords that deal with a particular topic, such as the instrument configuration, are grouped together logically throughout the headers. Table 20.5 lists a useful subset of these groups of keywords, indicates the name of the grouping, and where applicable, shows their relationship to the corresponding information from the Phase II proposal.

Table 20.6 summarizes the possible calibration switch keywords, and indicates whether they are present for a particular observation; it also indicates the reference file keyword corresponding to the particular calibration step. A calibration switch keyword is populated with one of OMIT, COMPLETE, or PERFORM. Similarly, Table 20.7 summarizes the reference file group of keywords that identify the files used by the pipeline during calibration (see Chapter 21 for a detailed description of pipeline processing).
