In this STAN, the COS team announces the release of a new Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive that encompasses all publicly available COS and STIS spectra including more than 60,000 datasets and over 6000 individual targets. The COS team has also updated the Instrument Handbook to version 17.1 and the Data Handbook to version 6.0.
In this STAN, we cover major reference file updates improving FUV calibration, two new COS FUV lifetime positions for Cycle 33, Phase II submission best practices, and the COS team’s AAS presentation previewing the new Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive.
In this STAN, we discuss items of interest to those who are preparing Phase I proposals for Cycle 33, provide updates on recent instrument calibration efforts, and share information on updated contact information for the STScI Help Desk.
In this STAN, we discuss upcoming COS posters at the 245th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society and announce the release of two new notebooks for the Hubble Advanced Spectral Products (HASP) that help users conduct data diagnostics on HASP coadds and apply custom wavelength shifts. Additionally, a new COS notebook is available to assess observing exception reports.
In this STAN, we discuss items of interest to those who are preparing Phase II proposals for Cycle 32, provide updates on recent instrument calibration efforts, and share information on the new Reduced Gyro Mode for Hubble.
In this STAN we announce the delivery of new time-dependent sensitivity and photometric throughput tables for FUV observations.
In this STAN, we discuss items of interest for those who are preparing Phase I proposals for Cycle 32. We also inform users about lower-than-expected sensitivities in specific FUV modes, attributable to the solar cycle, and announce updated detector dark rates
In this STAN we announce the delivery of the Hubble Advanced Spectral Products (HASP) program.
In this STAN we describe COS posters to be presented at the 243rd AAS meeting.
In this STAN we discuss items of interest to those who are preparing Phase II proposals for Cycle 31 and the incorporation of updated dark rates into the COS exposure time calculators.
In this STAN we announce a COS poster to be presented at the 242nd AAS meeting and inform users of the alpha release of a revised exposure time calculator for Hubble.
In this STAN we discuss the release of Cycle 31 documentation and news of interest to those who may submit Phase I proposals to use COS, including a discussion of G160M use at LP6 and an updated listing of dark rates. We also announce the delivery of a new gain sag table.
In this STAN we discuss the availability of stenv as a replacement for Astroconda. We also describe COS posters to be presented at the 241st AAS meeting and announce a new version of the COS Data Handbook.
In this STAN we announce the introduction of Lifetime Position 6 for G160M spectroscopy and the delivery of several new reference files.
In this STAN we discuss items of interest to those who are preparing Phase II proposals for Cycle 30. We also discuss the reappearance of a hot spot on the FUV detector and describe COS posters presented at the 240th AAS meeting.
