--Summary of Changes--
No new threads have been added.

Three threads have been updated:

  Title: Clean ACIS Background in VFAINT Mode
  Date: 3 Jun 2002
  URL: http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/aciscleanvf/
  History:
removed note: it is necessary to run the Remove the acis_detect_afterglow
Correction thread, even if you have run this one.

  Title: Remove the acis_detect_afterglow Correction
  Date: 3 Jun 2002
  URL: http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/acisdetectafterglow/
  History:
removed note: it is necessary to run this thread, even if you have run the
Clean ACIS Background in VFAINT Mode thread.

NOTE: a test of both of these methods showed that more than 30% -- but NOT
necessarily "most" -- of the events identified as potential cosmic-ray
afterglows are also identified as potential cosmic ray events using
"check_vf_pha=yes." It is therefore advisable to run the second thread to
identify the afterglow events, even if you have cleaned the background in
VFAINT mode.

  Date: 30 May 2002
  URL: http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/acisbackground/
  History:
Added links to M. Markevitch's astro-ph paper discussing the affect of
backgrounds on galaxy cluster temperature profiles.
