Top] [Prev] [Next] [Bottom] . Figure 4.24 shows how the NICMOS cameras are arranged in the HST field of view. The alignment of each camera is not exact, and the internal coordinate systems attached to each of them will differ by small rotations (probably <2 degrees). The FITS format data files generated for NICMOS observers will have a World Coordinate System specified appropriately for each camera. The adopted coordinate system for the 3 cameras is summarized in Figure 4.23 . ...

... This is done by taking in all input files the extension whose name is specified by the maintable parameter (called 'merged extension' in what follows) and merging the columns into a single output extension of the same name. ... Its contents is taken from the CCDID keyword (and QUADRANT for EPIC PN). ... To propagate other column specific keywords, they must be specified manually via the extensionchecks , mainattributes , maxattributes and minattributes parameters (see above). ...
