ISIS database bug CALSPEC

Post by Robin Leadbeater »

If I try to select a CALSPEC star in the RESPONSE function, I get an error. The function looks for a file called m_vega.fit (a MILES spectrum which does not exist) instead of the CALSPEC spectrum C_VEGA.fit. The correct spectrum is called if the DATABASE function is used though.

Does anyone else see this bug?

Thanks
Robin

Yes, me too (and using V5.5.2). "m_vega.fit est introuvable".

Thanks Paul,

It has probably always been there then. CALSPEC spectra are not that easy to use with the Response function as they are in absolute rather than relative flux units so perhaps I will turn the bug to advantage and generate a set of normalised CALSPEC spectra prefixed by m- :D
