Swift UVOT CALDB 20211108 Release Note
===========================================================
Update 2022-02-25
*) /bcf/flat/swusshsens20041120v001.fits
/bcf/flat/swusslsens20041120v001.fits
/bcf/flat/swussmsens20041120v001.fits
New Small Scale Sensitivity (SSS) caldb files have been defined for low (conservative), mid
(intermediate) or high (aggressive) screening. SSS masks identify regions of
the detector where the sensitivity is below a certain threshold in the heat maps.
The choice of threshold determines the number and size of the low sensitivity regions masked
and allows depending on the science the tolerance to error in the flux measurements.
This update is released with CALDB version 20211108 in Feb 22.

Swift UVOT CALDB 20070711 Release Note
===========================================================
Update 2007-07-11
*) swureef20041120v103.fits
An error has been corrected that caused the final row to be
omitted from some of the extensions. The REEFs now extend to
5.2 arcsec and have extrapolated values greater than 100%. This
was done to allow UVOT software to correctly handle apertures
with that are not centred on the centre of a pixel.

effective area data.
*) swucountcor20041120v102.fits
The format of the COINCIDENCE extension has changed. A new
vector column, named MULTFUNC, has been added. This column
contains the coincidence correction polynomial that is to
be multiplied by the theoretical coincidence correction to
get the total correction. The data in the PLINFUNC column
is the same as in swucountcor20041120v101.fits. A new column,
called COIAPT, has been added to the COINCIDENCE extension.
This contains the radius, in arcseconds, of the aperture that
was used to derive the coincidence loss correction.
*) swuphot20041120v105.fits
This file contains updated photometric zero points, flux
conversion factors, and colour correction polynomials.
The flux conversion factors are computed for a mean,
low-z gamma-ray burst spectrum. Effective wavelength keywords
have been added for each filter. These wavelengths assume
a Vega spectrum. The colour corrections convert magnitudes
and colours from the native UVOT photometric system to
the Johnson system. Corrections are given for Pickles
spectra (stars) and gamma-ray burst spectra.
*) swreef20041120v102.fits
The radial encircled-energy functions have been renormalized
so that 100% of the energy in enclosed in an aperture with
a radius of 5 arcsec. The radial encircled-energy functions
are approximate only. They assume that there is no variation
in the PSF with position on the frame, roll angle, or count
rate. They should be treated as having an uncertainty of
approximately 10%.

at 2005-01-05T00:00:00. Bad pixels are divided into
high (QUALITY=2) and low (QUALITY=4) pixels.
*) bcf/phot/swuphot20041120v104.fits
The flux conversion factor for the White filter has been
added.
*) bcf/teldef/swugen20041120v104.teldef
The UVW2 filter has been removed from the general teldef file
because it has been found to have a different plate scale from
the other filters. UVW2 teldef information is now in the
swuw220041120v101.teldef and swuw220051124v101.teldef files.
The change in the plate scale is accounted for by compressing
the distortion map. This was done so the output SKY images
for UVW2 will have the same plate scale as the other filters.
*) bcf/teldef/swuw220041120v101.teldef
The plate scale has been changed to 0.5043 arcsec/pixel.

Swift UVOT CALDB 20060503 Release Note
===========================================================
Update 2006-05-03
*) On May 5 2006 (release date) the content of UVOT CALDB directory
for the unit A, uvota, was renamed uvota_pre20060505.
All files and indices delivered before May 5 2006
can be found under uvota_pre20060505.
This was replaced by a new uvota CALDB tree where only the
good files delivered up to 5 May 2006 were maintained.
This new directory tree fixes the problem with the files
named 'rmf' that were infact 'rsp' and includes the
latest response files. The 'rmf' directory has been replaced by
the 'rsp' directory.
Future updates of the UVOT CALDB will be placed
in this new directory tree.
