These are the 2015B release notes containing changes since the 2015A Starlink release.

General

  • Some contact email addresses have been updated.
  • Allow object names with apostrophes or equals signs.
  • Debug mode will now print the command lines used into the log.
  • Line graphics leave gaps for missing values and hence are clearer.

ACSIS

  • Legacy processing of large spatial areas or many input timeseries cubes now supports chunking to avoid addressing too many voxels.
  • No longer create "cube" files in the REDUCE_SCIENCE_LEGACY recipe.
  • Improvement made to spike filtering limits.
  • Better handling of hybrid-spectra combination when the overlap is small.
  • Tile borders removed from frame cubes.
  • Improved histogram-peak finding algorithm to cope with more unusual distributions.
  • Fixed bugs including calculation of median Tsys for large and sparse datasets, and flatfield determination for curtailed observations.

LCOGT

  • Synchronised to 2015-10-22 LCOGT's subversion repository.

UKIRT

  • Extends the search for sources in chopped observations but restricted to prevent picking up the wrong beam.
  • Copes with chopped data where the original beam information is lost.
  • New Michelle bad-pixel mask provided from 20150301.
  • Switch suffix of output file of _STANDARD_BLACKBODY_ from _dbs to _std.
  • Handle missing END header in FITS airlock when extracting sources.

JSA primitives

  • _COPY_JSA_HEADERS_TO_FITS_FILE_ now includes the WAVELEN, BANDWID and OBJECT headers.
  • _DETERMINE_CLASSES_ copies "locked" uhdr values to temporary objects.
