Here the user will find the latest Python-based software notebooks for the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). For our primary WFC3 user-support tools, see wfc3tools and WFC3 Software Tools.

WFC3Library is the primary repository for new notebooks, including color correction, photometric tools, spectroscopic tools, and other analysis. This repository contains the complementary notebooks mentioned in the WFC3 Data Handbook. These notebooks include:

• Manual Recalibration of Images using CALWF3
• WFC3/UVIS Filter Transformations with stsynphot
• Flux Unit Conversions with synphot and stsynphot
• Synthetic Photometry Examples for WFC3
• WFC3/UVIS Time-dependent Photometry
• Calculating WFC3 Zeropoints with STSynphot
• WFC3 Image Displayer and Analyzer
• Masking Persistence in WFC3/IR Images
• How to use wfc3_dash on DASH data
• Processing WFC3/UVIS Data with CALWF3 Using the v1.0 CTE-Correction
• Exception Report Checklist - WFC3

Each folder in notebooks has an individual README.md with further details and a HTML file that can be opened in a browser after cloning this repository. The HTML file is identical to the notebook, except they contain output plots and tables.

All notebooks require the same anaconda virtual environment named wfc3_env. To create the virtual environment, run this line in a terminal window:

conda env create -f environment.yml

To activate wfc3_env, run this line in a terminal window:

conda activate wfc3_env

In addition, the individual README.md files in notebooks may have further installation instructions. Please read them to run the notebooks properly.

With the environment activated and additional libraries installed based on the individual README.md files, you will be able to complete the notebooks.

Please open a new issue or new pull request for bugs, feedback, or new features you would like to see. If there is an issue you would like to work on, please leave a comment and we will be happy to assist. New contributions and contributors are very welcome!
