STSDAS: Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System

STSDAS v2.0.2

The primary changes incorporated in this patch release are:

  • 1) Changes needed to support platforms now supported by IRAF 2.11.1 since the last STSDAS/TABLES release (i.e., SGI IRIX and IBM AIX).
  • 2) Major enhancements to CALNIC and CALSTIS, and new STIS script tasks added for fringe flat calibration and generation of up-to-date dark correction files (to include newest hot pixels).
  • 3) Changes to polarimetry calibration in CALFOS.
  • 4) Updated contrib package GAUSSFIT. 
    There was a serious bug discovered in how gcombine performs weighted
pixel-wise averages. Unfortunately the fix was finished to late to
include with the release. We will be making a patch for the gcombine
package available soon (source and binaries) which should allow users
to update the package immediately after they install the new release
of STSDAS.
