Standard Keywords

The following table lists the keywords that are required to be present in all reference files. The first column gives the FITS keyword names. The second column gives the jwst data model name for each keyword, which is useful when using data models in creating and populating a new reference file. The third column gives the equivalent meta tag in ASDF reference file headers, which is the same as the name within the data model meta tree (second column).

Reference File Format

The FORE reference file stores the transform through the Filter Wheel Assembly (FWA). It has two fields - “filter” and “model”. The transform through the FWA is chromatic. It is represented as a Polynomial of two variables whose coefficients are wavelength dependent. The compound model takes three inputs - x, y positions and wavelength.

filter:

Filter name.

model:

Transform through the Filter Wheel Assembly (FWA).
