Anomalies and Artifacts of the WFC3 UVIS and IR Detectors: An Overview
Abstract
Since first light, a number of anomalies or artifacts have been found in the WFC3 UVIS and IR detectors. These include trails from passing satellites, "ghost" images from reflected light, scattered light, and a handful of detector idiosyncrasies. In this paper, we present a "rogues gallery" detailing the various types of anomalies found so far, their likely causes and possible remedies.
