Downloadable PDF collections of the documentation are provided below as a courtesy, made available and updated when feasible.
Updated August 22, 2024
Unless otherwise noted, the PDF documents listed below were created on August 22, 2024. They include updates for APT 2024.5, as well as in-flight performance information from observatory commissioning data and Cycle 1 calibration data.
For the duration of the Cycle 4 Call for Proposals (August 1 to October 16, 2024), content related to proposal preparation will be frozen unless there is the need for an urgent update. (Some articles requiring updates, such as those with APT 2024.5 information, were published on August 22.)
Content regarding data calibration and analysis will continue to be updated as needed.
