################################################################### ### Simulated NIRCam imaging and reduction for CEERS Pointing 5 ### ################################################################### Here we provide an updated set of NIRCam imaging mosaics covering a single CEERS pointing (CEERS 5). This is the same CEERS pointing that was released as part of SDR1, but with three updates/improvements (see below). ############ ## Summary Instrument: NIRCam Mode: Imaging Source of Simulations: MIRAGE v2.2.1 Calibration Pipeline Used: jwst v1.4.7a1.dev23 (a development version) CRDS Context: 0791 APT (version 2021.2): CEERS ERS 1345 Target: CEERS Pointing 5 (in parallel with prime NIRSpec MSA) with additional depth in F115W and F356W obtained as part of the NIRCam WFSS observations in this field Filters: SWC F115W, F150W, F200W; LWC F277W, F356W, F444W Readout: MEDIUM8 (NIRSpec parallel) SHALLOW4 (WFSS imaging) Observation specification: 9 groups, 1 integration (NIRSpec parallel) 6 groups, 1 integration (WFSS imaging) Dithers: 3 dithers, steps specified by NIRSpec nods (NIRSpec parallel) 4 dithers, steps specified by MIRI parallel, with direct images and out of field imaging (WFSS imaging) Contact: Micaela Bagley (mbagley@utexas.edu) ###################### ## Changes from SDR1 - Updated photometry: these simulated NIRCam images use an updated version of the Santa Cruz SAM mock catalog that includes the effects of ISM dust extinction. - Full depth in F115W and F356W: we have included the additional imaging in F115W taken as the SWC counterpart to the NIRCam WFSS observations in this field, as well as a small number of additional F356W images obtained as direct images for the WFSS observations. - Images are now pixel-aligned across all filters, and on a pixel scale of 30mas ####################### ## Notes on Header Keywords The photometry information in the headers produced by the development version of the Calibration Pipeline was incorrect for the pixel scale of the mosaics. Specifically, the header keywords 'PIXAR_SR' and 'PIXAR_A2' maintained the values corresponding to the original pixel scales in the short and long wavelength channels, rather than those appropriate for 0.03"/pixel. (If you are using jwst datamodels, these keywords are model.meta.photometry.pixelarea_steradians and model.meta.photometry.pixelarea_arcsecsq. We have manually updated these values to reflect the 0.03"/pixel scale. Please use these new values when measuring photometry. We urge caution in using 'PHOTMJSR' (model.meta.photometry.conversion_megajanskys) and 'PHOTUJA2' (model.meta.photometry.conversion_microjanskys), as we have not confirmed these values. Additionally, the keyword 'PXSCLRT' in the primary header is also incorrect (it currently states a pixel scale ratio of 1.0 relative to each input detector scale). ####################### ## Directory Contents We include the mosaics output by Stage 3 of the JWST Calibration Pipeline as well as individual extensions of the mosaic files that are smaller and therefore may be easier to use. The mosaic in each filter is called ceers5_[filt]_i2d.fits.gz, where [filt] is f115w, f150w, f200w, f277w, f356w, or f444w. These images are saved as multi-extension fits files, each of which is ~1 GB and unzips to ~1.4 GB. For information on i2d data products: https://jwst-pipeline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jwst/data_products/science_products.html#resampled-2-d-data-i2d-and-s2d We have also separated individual extensions (maintaining the JWST data model structure and additional metadata), and saved them as: - ceers5_[filt]_sci.fits.gz - ceers5_[filt]_wht.fits.gz - ceers5_[filt]_err.fits.gz These individual extensions are ~100-180 MB and unzip to ~200 MB. Two versions of the F115W images are available. - ceers5_f115w_*: the full depth including the SWC imaging taken during the WFSS observations - ceers5_f115w_partial_*: the imaging excluding the F115W exposures from the WFSS observations
