| 内容記述 | Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is a general-purpose imager in development for installation in HST Servicing Mission 4 (SM4). Covering the wavelength range of 200-1700 nm in two observing channels, WFC3 offers powerful new capabilities, particularly in the near-ultraviolet and near-infrared bands. During 2004, the instrument was integrated and underwent a substantial suite of end-to-end characterization and performance tests. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the design and scientific purpose of WFC3, summarize the results of its test program to date, and highlight some recent developments in detector technology that will further enhance the performance of WFC3 s IR channel. |
