Hello chandra-users,

The CIAO team is pleased to announce the 01 July 2010 release of the
CIAO contributed science tarfile. The new tarfile may be download via
ciao-install (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/) or from the CIAO
Contributed Scripts Page (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/scripts/).

The changes in this release are:

o) NEW! Reprocessing script

The chandra_repro reprocessing script runs all the recommended data
processing threads for ACIS imaging data. Future releases will support
HRC and grating data.

Simply run the script from a directory that contains the data files or
which contains the primary/ and secondary/ data directories from a
standard Chandra Data Archive download tarfile:

unix% pwd
/data/acis-s/1838

unix% ls
primary/ secondary/

unix% chandra_repro

For details and examples, refer to "ahelp chandra_repro".
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/chandra_repro.html

o) NEW! The scale_image_crate (S-Lang or Python help) routine has been
added to the crates_contrib.utils module. It is useful for scaling
images to be displayed by the ChIPS add_image (S-Lang or Python help)
routine.

o) The ciao_contrib.runtool module can now be used to run the following
tools: acis_run_hotpix, axbary, dmgti, evalpos, pileup_map, tgdetect and
wavdetect. Problems with trying to set the rand_pix_size parameter of
acis_process_events, hrc_process_events and tg_resolve_events have been
resolved.
