The STIS team monitors the time dependent sensitivity (TDS) of each grating with one from a set of three secondary CALSPEC standard stars: GRW+70D5824, AGK+81D266, and BD+28D4211. Here, we use the three primary CALSPEC White Dwarf standard…

The sensitivities of STIS first-order, medium resolution modes were redetermined from on-orbit observations and CALSPEC models (version 11) of the primary white-dwarf spectrophotometric standard stars G191-B2B, GD 71, and GD 153. The…

The STIS team re-derived on-orbit sensitivity curves for the echelle modes for post-servicing mission 4 observations using the standard DA white dwarf G 191-B2B. These new updates relied on the recent CALSPECv11 models, which introduced…

Recent improvements to stellar atmospheric models have merited updated flux calibration for high priority STIS observing modes. Specifically, in the FUV and NUV, continuum differences of 1-3% are present between the newest models…

CONTEXT: The second Gaia data release (DR2) took place on April 2018. DR2 included photometry for more than 1.3 10^9 sources in G, BP, and RP. Even though Gaia DR2 photometry is very precise, there are currently three alternative…

Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) targeted 556 stars in a long-running program called Next Generation Spectral Library (NGSL) via proposals GO9088, GO9786, GO10222, and GO13776. Exposures through…

The STIS echelle gratings can be used with a variety of different central wavelength settings. "Secondary" wavelength settings, designed to cover select absorption or emission lines, have not been calibrated as precisely as their primary…

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) has measured the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for several stars of types O, B, A, F, and G. These absolute fluxes from the CALSPEC database are fit with a new spectral grid computed…

In February, 1997, the second Space Shuttle servicing mission to the Hubble Observatory will install the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS). This new instrument will greatly enhance the spectroscopic capabilities of the Hubble…

We present new time-dependent inverse sensitivities for the WFC3/IR channel. These were calculated using the sensitivity change slopes measured by \citet{2024wfc..rept....6M} and photometry of five CALSPEC standards (the white dwarfs…

The collections of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the \emph{Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) CALSPEC database are augmented by 19 IR SEDs from Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) IR grism spectra. Together, the two IR grisms, G102 and G141,…

We present a new photometric calibration of the WFC3-UVIS and WFC3-IR detectors based on observations collected from 2009 to 2020 for four white dwarfs, namely GRW+70~5824, GD~153, GD~71, G191B2B, and a G-type star, P330E. These…
