Community Release Note for PACS Calibration Set v32
PACS calibration file set v32 incorporates the following differences from the previous community release, v26:
Photometer
- The introduction of a non-linear coefficients caibration file, used in the non-linearity correction on PACS' signal.
- A new version of the bad pixel mask where the blue detecor badpixel mask is extended by 3 pixels
Spectrometer
- A new calibration product containing a model for the telescope background has been introduced for flux calibration using the background normalization method.
- A correction of the error estimation of the capacitance of the blue spectrometer array.
- A new calibration product containing, at every key wavelength, the detector responses computed from the observation of astronomical standards.
- An update of the calibration sources flux product.
Affected observations & processing
PACS photometer observations, non-linearity correction and flag bad pixels.
PACS spectrometer observations, flux calibration using background normalization method, flux calibration using calibration block method.
