[fitsbits] FITS Standard 3.0 is Approved.
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the new 3.0 version of the FITS Standard document has been officially approved by the IAU FITS working group. It is now available on the FITS Support office website at http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_standard.html. This new 3.0 version contains several substantial changes, such as the new section on World Coordinate Systems, as well as hundreds of other smaller changes to the text to help clarify many of the topics. The previous 2.1 version of the Standard and the even older NOST 2.0 version are now obsolete and contain invalid information, so I strongly urge you to always refer to this new 3.0 version whenever there is a question about FITS requirements. regards, Bill Pence On behalf of the IAU FITS Working Group -- __________________________________________________ __________________ Dr. William Pence NASA/GSFC Code 662 HEASARC +1-301-286-4599 (voice) Greenbelt MD 20771 +1-301-286-1684 (fax) |
