Hi Spitzer fans -

This is (hopefully) the last big round of changes to the website before
the proposal deadline... There are a handful more things expected, but
nothing this major.  The biggest remaining items are an anticipated Mac
SPOT release before the end of this week, and the Observation Planning
Cookbook shortly thereafter.

    * MIPS
          o Late-breaking MIPS news added to FLS data products page.
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/fls/dataprod.html
          o New memo with updated information in post-launch overview
		file (numbers have been propagated to the rest of the
		MIPS site, including the sensitivity page and the
		saturation page, as well as the MIPS pocket guide.)
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/mips/documents/postlaunch-overview.txt
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/mips/sens.html
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/mips/sat.html

          o Quoted SED sensitivity number clarification on the MIPS
		sensitivity page
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/mips/sens.html

    * IRS
          o In the IRS AOT Example #1 (SOM v4.0, section 7.2.4.1), the
		units of all line fluxes were inadvertantly given as
		W cm^-2 instead of the correct units of W m^-2. Please
		change all flux units in this example to W m^-2 (you do
		NOT have to change any of the numbers). This will be
		corrected in the next release version of the SOM, and
		has already been corrected in the online copy of the
		examples.
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/irs/examples.html
          o Slightly modified sensitivity and saturation web pages;
		the information is the same as was released in the SOM.
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/irs/sens.html
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/irs/sat.html

    * New schedules and observing logs
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/approvdprog/sched/

    * Bright Object Lists
		http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/documents/brightobj/

And, finally, we're adding to our list of Frequently Asked Questions
all the time: http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/faq/

cheers,
