Are there documents other than the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook that would provide useful information for preparing a proposal?

The paper: Performance and Calibration of WFPC2 (Post Script, 5.0 Mbytes) describes the WFPC2 IDT's (Instrument Definition Team) understanding of the instrument as of July, 1994. It discusses many instrumental effects including the charge transfer problem (which can affect photometry), the hot pixel growth rate, and astrometric calibration. The IDT has also prepared the document: The Photometric Performance and Calibration of WFPC2 (Post Script, 4.2 Mbytes), which describes conversions to the Landolt UBVRI photometric system and the time dependency of the UV throughput, and provides a photometric calibration "cookbook".

Also see recent issues of the Space Telescope Analysis Newsletter, which provides updated WFPC2 information on a monthly basis. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
