APERNAME

S&OC PRD science aperture used

The S&OC Project Reference Database (S&OC PRD) aperture used. The names for each JWST aperture are used to populate the APERNAME keyword based on engineering telemetry.

For NIRCam Time Series and Grism Time Series templates a subset of the NIRCam detectors will be read out. The PPS database specifies a single aperture for each exposure that is used for telescope pointing. For NIRCam multi-detector exposures, the PPS provided aperture name is mapped to detector specific apertures for identifying the best reference pixel from which to set the WCS parameters for the individual exposure/detector based FITS files. Special mapping will need to be performed for the NIRCam Time Series and Grism Time Series templates.
