Figaro 5.6-1 release

The following notes are a slightly modified version of the news item which accompanied the release of Figaro version 5.6-1 (winter 2002).

Version 5.6-1 contains relatively few changes: there have been several bug fixes and an enhancement to application IARC. There have also been some revisions to the user manual. Brief details of the changes are given below.

Some spectrophotometric flux tables of standard stars suitable for use in flux calibration with Figaro have been recovered and made available again. These data were previously available on the now-defunct RAL central database machine STADAT.
