Changes:

Improvements version 1.5.3

NIX data reduction improvements:
• Changed The ESO-REFLEX NIX workflow parameter defaults as for version 1.4.4 with the exception of the parameter sky-method that was set to median-median as this value implies a more robust data reduction.
• Updated the photometric static table with more accurate zero point values

Improvements version 1.5.0

SPIFFIER data reduction improvements:
• Implemented additional methods to model and correct the sky in case of observations without dedicated sky frames. Changed default aj-method to 7 to model the sky from the median of the region obtained after kappa-sigma clip of the object(s).
• Added possibility to interpolate bad pixels in the 3D data cubes.
• The parameter derot_corr now has also the value “auto” to automatically estimate the correct value of correction to be applied during distortion.
• Fixed a bug in the thermal background removal when sky-tweak is 1.
• The products of eris_ifu_stdstar and eris_ifu_jitter are now FITS compliant and the recipes eris_ifu_jitter generates a product (flux calibrated data cube) with most FITS keywords required by the phase3 standard.
• Fixed some bug in computation of the QC parameters.
• Fixed a problem in the computation of the response when also the strehl is determined.
• Updated user manual.

NIX data reduction improvements:
• We revised and clarified the ESOReflex workflow top level layout and fixed a problem of previous one.
• cd-matrix-modify is now a parameter of the eris_nix_cal_det interactive workflow.
• Improved the robustness of the recipe eris_nix_img_cal_phot.
• The recipe eris_nix_cal_det is more tolerant on possible input data: now also input tagged as CAL_DET_SKY_JITTER are accepted.
• Fixed some bug in the generation of phase3 data products.
• Fixed some typo in the units and the description of some QC parameter.
• Updated user manual.
