Summary of changes:
 
Clock files v.108 and later contain an improvement of the clock offset model that builds on the fine clock correction introduced in v.095. For clock files prior to v.108, the absolute alignment to UTC time has been measured to be systematically off by ~5ms  Additionally, the model used to produce the clock file suffered from time intervals with no temperature measurements (such as reboots of the system).
 
Clock file v.108 includes an absolute systematic shift of 4.9 ms and improves the treatment of these ̉bad" intervals.
 
More details about the impact of the clock correction file are available at the NuSTAR SOC at this link:

Summary of changes:
 
This CALDB version contains required files for the NuSTARDAS v2.0.0 update which implements a new temperature-dependence during the ARF generation that should improve performance in a small number of cases for FPMA. Please see the NuSTARDAS section in the HEASOFT release notes for further information:
