Hello chandra-users,

The CIAO team has released an update to 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) specextract
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/specextract.html

    * when background spectra are extracted and combine=yes, the
background spectra will be summed, even if bkgresp=no. The previous
version of the script required background responses when combine=yes.

    * existence of supporting files (e.g. msk1.fits) is checked before
running the script.

o) fluximage
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/fluximage.html

    * added support for input files that are missing the MJD-OBS keyword
(early, unreprocessed observations may not have this value).

o) chandra_repro
    http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/ahelp/chandra_repro.html

    * bug fix: the archive evt2.fits file was not being copied to the
output directory when process_events=no.
