Likelihood analysis
- Handling of comparisons with DSS keyword values and values in binary tables of FITS files fixed; see LK-31. (Likelihood v11r14p2)
- Add Damien Parent's PowerLawSuperExpCutoff as a spectral model available in gtlikelihood and pyLikelihood. This spectral model is needed for modeling pulsar spectra (in the Polar cap scenario). (Likelihood v11r15; pyLikelihood v0r6)
GRB tools
- gtrspgen: problems with integrals of energy dispersion over large energy ranges for handoff_response and dc2Response have been addressed in irfInterface::IEdisp. (irfs/irfInterface v2r1; irfs/dc2Response v3r1)
Pulsar tools
No news.
Observation simulation
No news.
User interface and infrastructure (& utilities)
Pat and Jim added new C++ implementation of dgaus8 (translated from Java, which was translated from original spaghetti Fortran) to replace f2c'd version. (st_facilities v0r10p1)
