Use ACSCTE step from HSTCAL - instead to have parallelization and consistent results with the - CALACS pipeline. - -- Removed ``runastrodriz`` task (moved to ``drizzlepac``). - -- Added masking, post-flash processing, iterative cleaning, and - alternative statistics to ``acs_destripe`` task. Masking is - particularly useful for polarized data. - -- Fixed bugs in ``acs_destripe`` task, including proper error handling - and pixel weighting. - -- Added new ``acs_destripe_plus`` task, which is particularly useful - for destriping subarrays with ``acs_destripe`` in the middle of - CALACS processing (between ACSCCD and ACSCTE steps). - -- Added new ``satdet`` module, which can detect and flag satellite - trails. - -- Added Python 3 support (untested). - -CALCOS ------- - -v3.1.3 -~~~~~~ - -*None* - -Most of the additions to the code were to make calcos run under Python -3. - -v3.1 -~~~~ - -*None* - -Calcos 3.1 includes the following bug fixes and features: - -Allow flux extraction from 0 to 100% -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The latest version of calcos (3.0) throws an IndexError when the range -of the 2zxtab is 0 to 100%. Handle this case separately, always -integrating over the whole height of the extraction box to duplicate the -behavior of the boxcar - -option. - -Ignore DQ flag DQ\_GAIN\_SAG\_HOLE in background regions in profile alignment step -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -CALCOS uses DQ flags in the profile alignment step, omitting columns -that have a pixel DQ value that contains any value in SDQFLAGS (read -from science data header). The flagging of large areas with gain sag -holes after the move to LP3 has made it very difficult to find -background regions that won't cause whole columns be omitted from the -alignment step, possibly resulting in not enough good columns to do the -alignment correction. - -To alleviate this, pixels in the background region should be able to -test against a different DQ value (e.g. one without the -DQ\_GAIN\_SAG\_HOLE value) from pixels in the target region. - -Shift DQ data array the same as data array in TRCECORR and ALGNCORR steps of calcos -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The data arrays are shifted in the Y direction in the TRCECORR and -ALGNCORR steps of calcos, but the DQ arrays are not currently shifted. -The DQ arrays should be shifted in the same way that the data arrays are -in the ALGNCORR and TRCECORR steps. - -Fix up x1d output for boxcar option -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -There are a number of shortcomings in the x1d output of calcos if the -XTRCTALG keyword is set to 'BOXCAR'. - -1. The BACKGROUND\_PER\_ROW column is calculated incorrectly (total - background is divided by the wrong number of rows) and should be - renamed to "BACKGROUND PER PIXEL" - -2. The NUM\_EXTRACT\_ROWS column is calculated incorrectly (off by 1). - -3. The Y\_LOWER\_OUTER, Y\_LOWER\_INNER, Y\_UPPER\_INNER and - Y\_UPPER\_OUTER columns are calculated incorrectly - they are - constants whereas they should follow the linear relation using the - SLOPE and INTERCEPT from the reference file. - -Restore display format for x1d columns -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -In the 3.0 update to CALCOS, the display formats for the columns in the -.x1d output table were removed. They should be restored. - -CalCOS should print warnings for certain conditions of HOTSPOT calibration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The new code to support hot spot flagging with the associated reference -file will need to output warnings to the user in a couple select cases. - -1. If a DQ bit in SDQOUTER is not also in SDQFLAGS, a warning should be - printed. - -2. If the PHAMIN/PHAMAX header keywords of the applied SPOTTAB are more - inclusive that what is applied to the data itself, a warning should - be printed. - -Change DQ array handling in x1d with hotspot treatment -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -With the CalCOS change to handle the hot spots and the SPOTTAB reference -file, the DQ array in the output x1d files will change slightly. - -1. The data quality value for each pixel should be given by: (DQ\_INNER) - \| (DQ\_OUTER & SDQOUTER) - -An additional check should be done to verify that the DQ\_WGT in the -x1dsum is still calculated correctly after this modification. - -Events in COS data should now be flagged using the SPOTTAB -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -To handle the hot spots in COS data, a new reference file is being -delivered (SPOTTAB) that will specify physical regions on the detector -that should be flagged if they occur during any given dataset. CalCOS -needs to flag each region given in a SPOTTAB if the time of the event -(given by START, STOP in each row) overlaps with any good-time-interval -(GTI) in the observation. - -Modules changed: - -Setup.cfg: -'''''''''' - -Version changed. - -lib/calcos/timetag.py -''''''''''''''''''''' - -Added code to shift the DQ arrays by the amount of the trace correction -and alignment correction before doppler blurring. Added code to pass the -good time intervals to modules that need it to check for active -hotspots. Added - -code to make sure that events that get shifted into the active area -after their doppler correction is applied don't cause the minimum and -maximum X shifts to be drastically wrong. - -lib/calcos/cosutil.py -''''''''''''''''''''' - -Added code to check SPOTTAB keywords, and to add active hotspots to the -DQ flags for events and the DQ arrays. Added code to shift the DQ values -of events by the amount in the trace and alignment corrections. - -lib/calcos/calcos.py -'''''''''''''''''''' - -Added code to enable use of SPOTTAB reference file - -lib/calcos/concurrent.py -'''''''''''''''''''''''' - -Updated interface to cosutil.updateDQArray - -lib/calcos/extract.py -''''''''''''''''''''' - -Renamed BACKGROUND\_PER\_ROW table column to BACKGROUND\_PER\_PIXEL. -Restored display formet to table columns. Treat DQ flags in the outer -regions if affected by a hotspot by setting DQ\_WGT to 0. DQ\_ALL column -is now the OR of the DQ flags of all pixels in the extraction region. -Fixed an indexing bug in how the extraction regions were specified. - -lib/calcos/getinfo.py -''''''''''''''''''''' - -Added SPOTTAB capability. - -lib/calcos/trace.py -''''''''''''''''''' - -Added code to make sure that gain sag holes don't affect the background -DQ values. - -lib/calcos/x1d.py -''''''''''''''''' - -Added code to pass brftab reference file to timetag.getWavecalOffsets so -that the Active Area can be determined at the time the offsets are -calculated. - -CRDS ----- - -Server-side code for opus-2016.1-4 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*None* - -This release includes context pickling optimizations to address Isilon -file system performance issues. - -CUBE-TOOLS ----------- - -*2016-08-03 15:22:50+00:00* - -DRIZZLEPAC ----------- - -Public Release of v2.1.3 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-04-05 19:23:04+00:00* - -This version represents the same code, with a few additional -enhancements, as the code that was installed for operational calibration -of HST data as of 23 Feb 2016. This represents a major update to the -DrizzlePac software, and also the last version with significant new -features. Future releases will focus primarily on bug fixes that affect -operational use of this code. Full support for this package can be found -at http://drizzlepac.stsci.edu. - -A brief overview of the new features and major bug fixes found in this -version (relative to what was released as part of v1.1.16) includes: - -- Full Python 2.7 and 3.5 support - -- Built-in support for automatic mosaic creation - -- Tweakreg now aligns all images in a mosaic into a single undistorted - output frame even if some images do not overlap others in the mosaic - -- Improved sky matching - -- Produce seamless mosaics using new sky matching techniques. More - details can be found in an example where these techniques are - compared. - -- Support for the improved time-dependent ACS distortion model - -- Supports the new ACS distortion calibration: Only DrizzlePac 2.0 is - able to interpret and apply the latest ACS/WFC distortion reference - files - -- Support for alignment of data from different HST cameras - -- Specify separate source finding parameters for input and reference - images to optimize source detection from images taken with different - HST cameras. - -- Support for use of inclusion/exclusion regions in image alignment - -- Improved support for WFPC2 data - -- resolved problems processing WFPC2 data which had DGEOFILEs - specified. - -- now requires user to run 'updatewcs' task on WFPC2 data to enable - astrodrizzle and tweakreg to work with them seamlessly - -- **[API change]** Use of 'updatewcs' removed from TEAL interfaces - -- User and pipeline will need to run this task independently prior to - running astrodrizzle or tweakreg - -- Python scripts calling astrodrizzle and tweakreg can still set the - 'updatewcs' parameter and have it run as part of those tasks - (presumably, the user understands when this task will wipe out - previous updates in their own script) - -- **[API change]** The user interfaces to all 3 coordinate - transformation tasks now use 'coordfile' as the input file of - coordinates to transform. The use of 'coords' has been deprecated, - but still can be used if needed. However, use of 'coordfile' will - always override any input provided simultaneously with 'coords' - parameter. Help files have been updated to document this as clearly - as possible for users. - -- Now relies on astropy for WCS, coordinate specification and I/O - libraries - -- A full 6-parameter general linear fit can now be performed using - tweakreg, in addition to shift and rscale - -- WCS keywords updated by tweakreg will result in an undistorted output - frame with NO residual skew (as represented in the CD matrix - keywords) - -The full set of Release Notes can be found at -http://ssb.stsci.edu/doc/stsci\_python\_x/drizzlepac.doc/html/release\_v2\_0\_0\_notes.html. - -FITSBLENDER ------------ - -Public Release of v0.2.6 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-04-05 19:35:00+00:00* - -This version of fitsblender supports the release of drizzlepac v2.1.3 as -used in the operational HST calibration pipeline and archive as of 23 -Feb 2016. It primarily includes bug fixes; namely, - -- Fixed problem with random results from fitsblender by replacing use - of dict with OrderedDict. This problem resolves issues with which - image was interpreted as first and last when looking for values to - use to populate the combined header. - -- Default pipeline processing rules files for all instruments amended - to reset FLASHCUR header value to 'multi' instead of first. - -- Simple update to insure that any keyword deletion works cleanly with - astropy by trapping any KeyError? exceptions explicitly. - -- Replace use of pyfits with astropy.io.fits. - -- Now works as-is under Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 - -HSTCAL ------- - -HSTCAL v1.0.1 Release Notes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-07-07 19:36:46+00:00* - -This release is to accommodate CALACS processing for new ACS subarrays -added by FSW change done in May 2016. Particularly, BLEVCORR is modified -to trim virtual overscans off the new subarrays (old subarrays do not -have virtual overscans). No changes are made for CALWF3 and CALSTIS. - -HSTCAL v1.0.0 Release Notes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-03-17 17:46:33+00:00* - -The following changes were made since the last release in April 2014, -broken down by sub-components: - -General -^^^^^^^ - -- Fixed compilation warnings. - -WFC3 (v3.3) -^^^^^^^^^^^ - -- A new processing step, FLUXCORR, was added to the UVIS pipeline, and - is performed at the end of processing. It will scale the chip2 image - using the new PHTFLAM1 and PHTFLAM2 values in the IMPHTAB. New flat - fields for all filters, as well as a new IMPHTTAB have been delivered - by the team for this step to be completely implemented. - -- The CTE correction has been implemented for all full-frame UVIS data. - This is done in conjunction with a full run through of the pipeline - code without the CTE correction applied, such that both CTE corrected - and non-CTE corrected output files are saved. This correction is for - the same reasons as in ACS, but the CTE correction algorithm is - different; it is applied to the raw file instead of later in the - processing. Some sections of the CTE code support parallel processing - with OpenMP. The default for calwf3 is to use all available - processors. To restrict processing to 1 cpu use the flag -1 in the - call to calwf3.e The CTE processing is controlled with the PCTECORR - keyword. New CTE corrected output products will be produced at all - stages which involved changes to most of the controlling routines and - output trailers. See the team documentation for more complete - information on the updates. - -- In conjunction with the CTE correction, a standalone interface - ``wf3cte`` was created to perform just the CTE correction, similar to - ``wf32d`` etc. - -- Sink pixel detection is now performed in the UVIS pipeline for - full-frame images, using the SNKCFILE reference image, and the - science data DQ mask is updated with the detections. The reference - image has 2 extensions, each in the pre-overscan trimmed format. This - step is performed if DQICORR is PERFORM, and is done before BLEVCORR - while the science image is still untrimmed. - -- Some of the new reference files required new code to read them, - including the new format for the UVIS IMPHTTAB associated with the - FLUXCORR step - -- The default CRCORR behavior for IR SCAN data will now be set to OMIT - by default so that the resulting calibrated image is last read - - first read instead of the fit to the ramp. - -- All IR scan related keywords formerly in the SPT file will also be - present in the FLT file - -- For UVIS and IR, a copy of the CSMID keyword, formerly in the SPT - will also be in the FLT file, CSMID lists the channel select - mechanism ID. - -- bug fix: nrej initialized in ``wf3rej`` so that REJ\_RATE reported - consistently correct for the IR pipeline - -- bug fix: a wfc3 uvis association which specifies multiple products - wont finish processing and segfaults - -- An assortment of memory leaks were fixed - -- Explicit error added to report a non-WFC3 image used as input to the - pipeline - -- updated text in ``wf3rej`` to report that Astrodrizzle should be used - to align images instead of PyDrizzle since that’s how it’s advertised - to users - -- fixed SEGFAULT error in reference file checking when iref environment - variable not set by user, so can’t find file - -ACS -^^^ - -- Added support for 2K subarrays in PCTECORR. - -- ``acs2d.e`` reads calibration flags from image header instead of - command line. - -- Improved temporary file handling. - -- Improved error message if input image does not belong to ACS. - -- Added support for very long input list for ACSREJ. - -- Fixed memory leaks (non-critical). - -JWST\_VISIBILITY ----------------- - -*2016-08-01 19:12:06+00:00* - -The first tagged release of the tool for internal and external testing. -Target visibility plots from this tool should **always** be checked -against APT for consistency, as this tool does not account for all of -the same constraints (and is not intended to). - -PYRAF ------ - -Version 2.1.10.1 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-06-23 15:32:40+00:00* - -This is not a real release of PyRAF per-se, but it's first git/github -tag. - -PYSYNPHOT ---------- - -PySynphot v0.9.8.4 Release Notes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-08-15 15:50:59+00:00* - -Fixed a bug of inconsistent ``waveset`` definitions across different -objects. Cleaned up setup files. Now uses ``relic`` submodule for -version tagging. - -PySynphot v0.9.8.3 Release Notes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -*2016-07-07 21:09:08+00:00* - -Moved ``data``, ``test``, and ``src`` directories one-level down for -AstroConda.
