Documentations for RECTE
========================

RECTE (Ramp Effect Charge Trapping Eliminator) models and corrects one of the most prominent HST/WFC3/IR systematics -- the so-called "ramp effect". The goals of this model are to improve the precision and efficiency in HST/WFC3/IR time-resolved observations. We detailed the motivations, assumptions, derivations, and applications in `Zhou et al. (2017) <http://stacks.iop.org/1538-3881/153/i=6/a=243?key=crossref.d8632f701456202d40ec5de454a41fff>`_.

We also provide a python package for RECTE. This python package can be easily incorporated with exisiting HST/WFC3/IR time-resolved data reduction pipelines. This document demonstrate the installation, usage, and applications for this package. We have also prepared a few Jupyter notebooks for cookbook-style demonstrations.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please file an issue on github or drop the developer an `email <mailto:yifzhou@email.arizona.edu>`_.

RECTE has been used in many refereed publications, you can find the list of references `here <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-ref_query?bibcode=2017AJ....153..243Z&amp;refs=CITATIONS&amp;db_key=AST>`_.
