Start Date Context Status Description
2026-08-18 roman_0061.pmap latest The single reference pixel reference file for WFI10 was corrected to have updated meta data for PEDIGREE to go from DUMMY to GROUND.
2026-08-18 roman_0060.pmap archived The 18 gain and 18 read noise reference files are for WFI imaging and spectral modes WIM and WSM. These are derived from TVAC 1 and TVAC 2 and SCIPA TVAC testing campaigns. These are the first batch of run for the record reference files before launch to be used during commissioning. Redelivering 18 updated Reference Pixel reference files that include updated information regarding the TVAC test, how the files were generated, and updating the PEDIGREE from DUMMY to GROUND.
2026-07-17 roman_0058.pmap archived Delivering an updated WFI readnoise rmap that adds exposure type WFI_FLAT to each entry, so that the reference files for each detector now cover exposure types WFI_IMAGE, WFI_LOLO, WFI_WFSC, WFI_SPECTRAL, and WFI_FLAT. This update is in preparation for new WFI readnoise files to be delivered.
2026-07-16 roman_0057.pmap archived Delivering new WFI dark reference files for imaging and spectral modes, WIM and WSM. Dark calibration reference file containing the dark slope error and DQ arrays were derived from the TVAC1 and TVAC2 Thermal Vacuum Tests of the Roman Wide Field Instrument WFI The calibration combines the Total Noise OTP00639 and Dark OTP00644 datasets consisting of 100 - 55 frame dark exposures with 3.04 s frame times for 1703 s total exposure from TVAC1, plus 100 - 55 frame dark exposures with 3.16 s frame times or 1771 s total exposure from TVAC2, and 4 - 350 frame long dark exposures with 3.16 s frame times for 1110 s total exposure from the TVAC2 Dark dataset, all acquired during the Nominal Operations environmental plateau using the flight detectors and flight focal plane electronics.
