... The source-list file produced by omdetect contains a list of the positions of all the detected sources, the parameterizations of their shapes, their extracted count-rates, and corrected count-rateswhich contain some of the corrections that are needed to convert the raw rates to the rates that can be used to compute instrumental magnitutes. ... For example, a source with a bad pixel and lying on or close to a read-out streak would have bits 0 and 1 set and thus have a quality flag value of 3. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...
