Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Version 1 0 release of Epoch 2 of Abell 370, which completes the full 70 HST orbits for epoch 2 of this cluster from program ID 14038 (PI: J Lotz), as well as completion of all the observations for the entire Frontier Fields program The full dataset for this cluster also includes public archival ACS and WFC3/IR imaging data from programs 11108 (PI: E Hu), 11507 (PI: K Noll), 11591 (PI: J -P Kneib), 13459 (PI: T Treu), and 14216 (PI: R Kirshner), which have all been included to provide the most complete full-depth mosaics in the ACS/WFC and WFC3/IR filters that are used for the Frontier Fields program All the mosaics in this v1 0 release have been fully recalibrated relative to the v0 5 mosaics that we released while this epoch was in progress For ACS, the v1 0 mosaics incorporate new bias and dark current reference files, along with CTE correction and bias destriping, and also include a set of mosaics that have been processed with the new selfcal approach to better account for the low-level dark current structure The WFC3/IR v1 0 mosaics have improved masking for persistence and bad pixels, and in addition include a set of mosaics that have been corrected for time-variable sky emission that can occur during the orbit and can otherwise impact the up-the-ramp count-rate fitting if not properly corrected All these mosaics are aligned to a common pixel grid as well as to an absolute astrometric frame based on pre-existing catalogs of this field Further details are provided in the readme file, which can be obtained along with all the mosaics at the following location:
More general information about the data for this project can be obtained from our Frontier Fields MAST archive website: * https://archive stsci edu/prepds/frontier/ as well as our main Frontier Fields HST project website: * http://www stsci edu/hst/campaigns/frontier-fields/ and our Frontier Fields astronomer's blog and other social media: * https://blogs stsci edu/hstff/ * https://twitter com/MAST_News/ * https://facebook com/MASTArchive/
We hope that these high-level science products are useful for your research, and we welcome any suggestions or questions that you may have about them
