5min | Instrument Roundtable Check-in | | NIRCam updates: - Discussion on new readout modes.
NIRISS updates: - Added background on PID 2113; this would allow to test different background substraction strategies. Nestor Espinoza mentions that these are done before the TSOs to avoid persistence from the science target afterwards. This implies, however, background will have a different pupil position angle than the actual TSO. Nikolay Nikolov asks about taking an observation of the target in the Full Frame to figure out this rotation angle; Nestor Espinoza notes figuring out the position angle is not really an issue — rotating the background image is something that has not been done, however.
- Loic Albert also spun up discussion about past NIRISS failures.
NIRSpec: - Discussed briefly cases on which updates on targets define wrong coordinates and/or targets for TA/science targets.
