2005-10-07 CALDB release date ========================================================================== Swift/BAT CALDB 20051006 Release note ======================================= Update 2005-10-06 * bcf/swbaperflux20041120v001.fits VERSION 1 (NEW FILE) This new file is a slightly trimmed aperture map, optimized for reproducing the fluxes of cosmic sources. Because of irregular and unknown passive materials which intrude into the edges of the field of view, the fluxes from the "full" aperture map (swbaperture*) will sometimes be degraded, especially if the source is far off axis. This map should reduce the degradation significantly, and is recommended to be used in place of the swbaperture* file. It has the keyword value APERTYPE = 'FLUX' * bcf/swbaperedge20041120v001.fits VERSION 1 (NEW FILE) This new file shows the trimmed regions that were used to reduce the swbaperture* file to the swbaperflux* file. When used with the batmaskwtimg task, this aperture map shows which portions of the array will be illuminated by irregular passive materials, and should thus be masked out for bright sources. The file has the keyword value APERTYPE = 'MASK_EDGES' * bcf/swbaperture20041120v002.fits VERSION 2 This new version of the full aperture map is the same as version 1, except that it has more pad cells around the edges of the map. The APERTYPE = 'DETECTION' keyword is also present. The BAT team now considers this map to *not* be optimal for most BAT analysis work, because of the presence of irregular passive materials which intrude into the edges of the field of view. Use swbaperflux* instead. * bcf/swbaperture20030101v003.fits VERSION 3 This version is the same as version 2, with the addition of the APERTYPE = 'DETECTION' keyword (see above). * bcf/swbparams20030101v006.fits VERSION 6 New keywords named SIGMA_* which give batdrmgen information it needs to produce an energy-dependent noise resolution. Revised GAIN_* keywords that are used by batdrmgen to adjust the model gain so that the peaks line up right (to account for the new noise model). A set of new PSV_0 and CCFUNP* keywords so that the fudge correction is appropriate for the cosine-correction change and the noise resolution change. This file applies to all observations. ** This file is meant to be released with Swift build 16. ** * bcf/swbparams20030101v007.fits VERSION 7 New parameter file which supercedes version 6. This file contains a new parameter, PB_EDGEN, which controls how lead tile edges are treated. The new parameter file has been optimized to fit the Crab for multiple angles and at all energies from 15-150 keV. This file applies to all observations. * cpf/swbresponse20030101v006.rsp VERSION 6 The swbresponse file is a typical on-axis response with the above changes to the swbparams file, and batdrmgen v3.0. This file applies to all observations. ** This file is meant to be released with Swift build 16. ** * cpf/swbresponse20030101v007.rsp VERSION 7 The swbresponse file is a typical on-axis response with the above changes to the swbparams file, and batdrmgen v3.1. This file applies to all observations. ** These files are meant to be released with Swift build 16. ** ========================================= Swift/XRT CALDB 20050916 Release Note ========================================= Update 2005-09-16 *) bcf/bias/swximbias20010101v005.fits VERSION 5 Update the bias value to use with the Swift XRT image mode data. ========================================= Swift/UVOTA CalDB 20050916 Release Notes ========================================= Update 2005-09-16 *) bcf/teldef/swugu0160_20041120v102.teldef VERSION 102 The CLOCKING(nnn) parameter boundary terms have been changed to WHEELPOS(nnn). *) bcf/teldef/swugu0200_20041120v102.teldef VERSION 102 The CLOCKING(nnn) parameter boundary terms have been changed to WHEELPOS(nnn). *) bcf/teldef/swugv0955_20041120v102.teldef VERSION 102 The CLOCKING(nnn) parameter boundary terms have been changed to WHEELPOS(nnn). Corrected spelling error in CBD50001 keyword name. *) bcf/teldef/swugv1000_20041120v102.teldef VERSION 102 The CLOCKING(nnn) parameter boundary terms have been changed to WHEELPOS(nnn). Corrected spelling error in CBD50001 keyword name. *) cpf/arf/swugu_20010101v013.arf VERSION 13 Added an extension for the clocked grism with WHEELPOS = 160. Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swugv_20010101v014.arf VERSION 14 Added an extension for the clocked grism with WHEELPOS = 955. Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swuuu_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swubb_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swuvv_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swuw1_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swum2_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swuw2_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. *) cpf/arf/swuwh_20041120v102.arf VERSION 102 Changed WAVE_{LO,HI} columns to WAVE{MIN,MAX}. ========================================= Swift/MIS CalDB 20050928 Release Notes ========================================= Update *) bcf/clock/swclockcor20041120v005.fits The clock correction file used by 'swifttime' and 'barycorr' has been changed to FITS format and is now stored in CALDB. With the Swift software release 2.1 (Heasoft 6.0.2), the default behavior of both tools has been modified to retrieve the FITS version of the clock correction file from the CALDB. The old ascii formatted file 'swco.dat' circulated up to now is still supported however new clock correction updates will be added only to the FITS version of the file. The FITS correction file will be updated quickly on about a bi-weekly schedule, it is recommended to users to always check out from CALDB the latest version of the file or set CALDB with the remote access. The latest version version of the file is at ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/caldb/data/swift/mis/bcf/clock/ named as swclockcor20041120vNNN.fits where NNN is the version number. Use always the higher version
