Algorithms for calwebb_tso3, which is stage 3 of the JWST Science Calibration Pipeline for all time-series observations (TSO) data, are used to process data from calibrated slope images to extracted photometry and spectroscopy for each integration. 

The calwebb_tso3 module is stage 3 of the JWST Science Calibration Pipeline for all TSO data. The inputs to this stage are the calibrated slope images (calwebb_image2 and calwebb_spec2 output) and the outputs are extracted photometry and spectroscopy as appropriate. The steps are listed in Figure 1 with the flow from the top to the bottom.

Unless otherwise stated, the algorithms described are the baseline version.

Steps for all TSO data

Outlier detection

Software documentation outside JDox: Outlier Detection

A 2nd pass at outlier detection is done using the image stack. The majority of the outliers will be due to cosmic rays undetected during the 1st pass at outlier detection done in calwebb_detector1. An iterative sigma clipping algorithm is used in pixel coordinates on the image stack. The presence of an outlier results in a pixel flag being set.

Exposure level products

The exposure level products are re-created at this stage to provide the highest quality products that include the results of the ensemble processing (a 2nd pass outlier detection). These products are for the Archive and include the unrectified 2D images and rectified 2-D images.

Imaging-specific steps

Extract photometry

Software documentation outside JDox: TSO Photometry 

Aperture photometry with a predefined aperture is performed for each integration providing the time-series photometry. 

---

Spectroscopy-specific steps

Spectral extraction

Software documentation outside JDox: Extract 2D 

The extraction is done using a boxcar for each integration providing time-series spectroscopy.

White-light photometry

Software documentation outside JDox: White Light Curve Generation 

The 1D extracted spectra are collapsed to create time-series white-light photometry for the spectral observations.
