... The OFWG The OFWG was set up to (1) ensure that new FITS definitions used within the OGIP do not violate any established FITS standards/conventions; (2) encourage standardization of keyword usage, data types, and FITS file formats used within the OGIP (i.e., the so­called Rationalized Data File or RDF format); and (3) disseminate OFWG recommendations to the broader High Energy Astrophysics and FITS communities to promote community­wide standardization. ...

... File Structure . ... There are five basic types of files (FITS tables) we use with the STSDAS software package Synphot and its successor pysynphot. component throughput tables (usually "_syn"): each such table gives the transmission curve for an individual element or "component" in the optical path of HST+SI. ... Master tables (For the most up-to-date files in use by pysynphot please check here ): . ... Since the set of pysynphot data files is rather large, they are distributed in separate tar files...
