The PACS photometer flux calibration has been re-derived, changes are implemented in the new response calibration file "FM, 7".
Aperture photometry of point-sources requires from now on the application of new aperture correction factors, taking into account that there is still significant flux beyond 60 arcsec.
These new correction factors are stored in: "PCalPhotometer_ApertureCorrection_FM_v3.fits" and can be retrieved via the task "photApertureCorrectionPointSource" to be applied after "annularSkyAperturePhotometry".
