Currently, a number of astroquery modules have methods that download data locally but do not allow the user to specify where that data goes. I.e. they just dump it in...

CRDS OPS or PUB needs to be recorded in the FITS header

1

Currently the only 2 CRDS parameters stored in the science data headers are CRDS_VER and CRDS_CTX: ``` CRDS_VER= '11.16.3 ' / Version of CRDS file selection software used CRDS_CTX= 'jwst_0932.pmap'...

Use GAIA DR3 in tweakreg

8

Currently the Gaia alignment for absolute astrometry is turned off by default in `tweakreg`, but if turned on, it queries MAST using the `requests` module and uses DR2. DR3 is...

Set DQ of ref pixels to DO_NOT_USE after refpix correction

1

Closes #7015 This PR addresses the current fragility of how reference pixels are set to DO_NOT_USE in `calwebb_detector1`. Currently they rely on the GAIN reference file having zeros in the...

Reference pixels set to DO_NOT_USE in DQ is fragile

14

Currently, the way that reference pixels get set to DO_NOT_USE in `calwebb_detector1` is by relying on them being set to zero in the GAIN reference file. If they are set...

Use tmp_path instead of tmpdir pytest fixture

10

Replace all instances `tmpdir` and `tmpdir_factory` pytest fixtures with `tmp_path` and `tmp_path_factory` fixtures, respectively. Then in pyproject.toml: ```toml [tool.pytest.ini_options] addopts = [ "-p no:legacypath", ] ``` which will prevent it...

Currently in `RefPixStep`, there are a number of class methods called `Dataset.DMS_to_detector()` and `Dataset.detector_to_DMS()` which make copies (or in some cases return views) converting detector array layout to DMS layout...

The interface for wt_scl is not clear. in `dodrizzle` is described as a float, but everywhere else it is a string. And sometimes it's an empty string. This interface needs...

Currently an implementation of this is in the `jwst` package. https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst/blob/bbe04525a7ced5354ed5457798457215bb33d29c/jwst/resample/resample_utils.py#L98-L162 Update both the FITS WCS and GWCS code to use the APE 14 enhancements where possible.

Use astropy pixel_to_pixel instead of internal calc_pixmap function

2

Use `astropy.wcs.utils.pixel_to_pixel` instead of https://github.com/spacetelescope/drizzle/blob/291b8b6249f2b24cac801ea99b383f7bf61dd1aa/drizzle/calc_pixmap.py#L5 if possible. This will require bumping up the `astropy` and other dependency versions.
