ACS grism mode

Below you can find the configuration and calibration files for ACS grism spectroscopy. They are in the correct format to be used with the aXe simulation software aXeSIM and the aXe extraction software aXe. To use these calibration products with aXe and aXeSIM, copy them into a directory and set your AXE_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point to that directory.

All aXe configuration files are designed to work on the distorted images. For ACS, these images end with the extension "_flt.fits". Other image data delivered by the archive, e.g. raw images "_raw.fits", un-distorted, "drizzled" images" _drz.fits" or even the drizzled images for associations "0_drz.fits" must not be used when working with aXe and aXe configuration files.
