The newest version of the Chandra Interactive Analysis of
Observations software, is CIAO
4.1, released on 15 December 2008. Read the
release notes
for detailed information. This release requires that
CALDB 4.1.0 be installed
for the software to work correctly.
If new calibration has been applied to the event file, the
grating spectrum should be re-extracted as well. It is then
possible to build grating response files (gARF, gRMF) in order
to model and fit the data in Sherpa.
