PIMMS Version 4.2 Release Notes

• New in Version 4.2 (Released 2010 Dec 20) and 4.2a (2010 Oct 27)
  • Version 4.2a includes a new set of Chandra effective area curves, suitable for AO-13 proposers. Of the various instrument configurations, the effective area curves for HRC-I have changed the most since AO-12. There are no code changes since Version 4.2.

  • Version 4.2 includes a new set of Suzaku effective area curves, suitable for Cycle 6 proposers, and an accompanying update in the code to estimate detection limits for the HXD detectors. Also, references to count rates for point sources observed at the HXD nominal position have been removed, as this pointing position is no longer recommended.
