During January 2025, Avila enhanced the Drizzlepac notebook workflow in the spacetelescope/hst_notebooks repository, focusing on image sampling and WCS handling for astrophysics data analysis. Avila implemented a method to reset the WCS solution to its a priori state, preserving relative alignment and maintaining sharp PSFs during the drizzling process. The work included updating documentation, refining the table of contents, and improving user guidance on plate-scale selection and final_pixfrac optimization. Using Python and Jupyter Notebook, Avila’s contributions improved reproducibility and clarity for scientific computing workflows, resulting in more reliable and higher quality drizzle results for notebook users.
