The new file replaces a file released in CalDB 4.2.1 named acis1iD2005-09-01bkgrnd_ctiN0001.fits, which was created with an error in the column filter specification of dmcopy. The error resulted in delivering the file with only one column, instead of removing that column. The new N0001A file has the appropriate data. This new file is stored in a new ACIS BKGNRD TAR ball, and must be unpacked from there to complete the CalDB 4.2.2 upgrade. See the CalDB 4.2.2 download instructions page.

CIAO contributed tool acis_bkgrnd_lookup.
