Instrument Science Report WFC3 2008-06 WFC3 TV3 Testing: IR Channel Baffle Scatter Thomas M. Brown Apr 7, 2008 ABSTRACT In the first TV campaign (2004), problematic scatter was seen from the IR detector 's knife-edge baffle when a point source was scanned across its edge, implying that detector 's baffle was installed incorrectly. ... Background One of the tests performed in the current thermal vacuum (TV) campaign for WFC3 is a check for scattered light from the knife-edge baffle of the IR detector. ...

. Comment on J1239-1023 . No image is shown by Dallacasa et al. (1998) as they did not find the VLBI structure at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz prominent, just dominated by a compact region barely resolved in position angle about -45 . In our case the source is well resolved, with a jet pointing to the W-NW direction, in agreement with what is seen in the images at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz from the VLBA Calibrators database.
