| Abstract: |
Nothing has really changed in the FITS format over the past year, so we
concentrated on what would improve FITS as an exchange format to be used
with the more complicated data structures which are being used with new
telescopes such as JWST and LSST. By what is turning out to be a simple
change of allowing header keywords to be longer than 8 characters, both
data producers and data users will be happier with FITS. We also
worked toward standardization of parameters where possible in the new
structured data formats as they mature, possibly under the auspices of
the new IAU Working Group on Astronomical Data Representation. |
