Notes. Column 1 shows the sections under which the various calibration steps (Col. 2) are described in this paper. The data types (point source, all) for which the recipes are applicable are given in the Col. 3. Column 4 contains information about the OB modes (STARE, NOD, OFFSET, all) that can be handled by the recipes.
