New Time-Dependent WFC3/IR Inverse Sensitivities

We present new time-dependent inverse sensitivities for the WFC3/IR channel. These were calculated using the sensitivity change slopes measured by \citet{2024wfc…rept…6M} and photometry of five CALSPEC standards (the white dwarfs GRW+70~5824, GD~153, GD~71, G191B2B, and the G-type star P330E) collected from 2009 to 2023. The new inverse sensitivities account for losses of 1-2% over 15 years, depending on wavelength, and provide an internal photometric precision better than 0.5% for all wide–, medium–, and narrow-band filters. An updated version of $\mathtt{\text{calwf3}}$ (v3.7.2) has been developed for use with a new time-dependent image photometry table (IMPHTTAB) and will be used to update the image header photometric keywords following MAST reprocessing, expected in late-2024. Alternatively, the new inverse sensitivities may be computed by the user for a specific observation date by running $\mathtt{\text{stsynphot}}$.
