Changes that have been made to CALSTIS in version 1.5 include:
When converting count rate to flux for CCD data, X1D and X2D
have been changed to multiply by the value of the primary header
keyword ATODGAIN.
X2D now takes into account that the "plate scale" may differ
between AXIS1 and AXIS2 in the case of binned data. The plate
scale is needed for converting aperture offsets from arcseconds
to pixels.
Three new keywords have been added to the headers and are
populated by X2D. These keywords are needed to define fully the
intensity units for targets that are continuum vs. emission line
sources, and whether or not they are spatially resolved. The
keywords are CONT2EML, SCALE_A1, and OMEGAPIX.
When doing geometric correction for imaging mode (GEOCORR), X2D
no longer attempts to conserve flux. This is now consistent
with spectroscopic mode. In addition, flat fields are made with
the assumption that flux conservation will not be included during
geometric correction.
This version was installed in STSDAS and PIPELINE on 22 September 1997.
