HSTCAL package updates

WFC3

  • WFC3 updated to Version 3.6.1
    • Bug fix in the CTE correction code to address a problem detected when processing a calibration image with a high background. Uninitialized values were used for further computation causing an eventual exception. The problem detected by this image could happen for images with lower backgrounds with no pixel values less than a threshold minimum so it was important to fix for science data.

ACS

  • ACS updated to Version 10.3.2
    • Reverted the name of the ACS forward model executable back to "acscteforwardmodel.e" from "acsforwardmodel.e" to mitigate documentation and script issues. The name was inadvertently changed when code was reorganized to resolve circular references. This update does NOT affect the calibration pipeline processing of data nor any data in the archive.
