Data Release changelog

October 1st, 2012

The GOODS-North and Lockman-North maps we updated in September had headers incompatible with HIPE. We corrected this.

September 17th, 2012.

The Herschel observation identifiers (ObsIDs) have been added to the FITS headers. If you do not need this information, there is no need to download the new files.

April 13th, 2012.

Some software had problems with some of the WCS values of the GOODS-North maps available on HeDaM. They could not display them with a correct astrometry.

As these specific values are used to correct field distortion, and as the GOODS-North field is a small one, Dr Alex Conley, from the SMAP team, has rebuilt the maps with more legacy values.

If you encountered astrometry problems using HerMES GOODS-North maps, please download them again (we replaced the old maps), the new files should fix them.

April 6th, 2012.

Minor update: the 'fluxerr' column of SUSSEXtractor catalogues was lacking description, unit and UCD and was presented as a string value in the VO-table and FITS files (but the content was good). This has been corrected.

April 5th, 2012.

There was an error in some FITS images we released as part of HerMES first data release. In the main image maps on L3_Groth-Strip and L3_Lockman-North, the 'mask map' (4th) HDUs were missing. We corrected the problem and you can now download the complete maps.
