PSM release 1.7.2

About this version

This version is a minor update of v1.7.1. The only major modification is that now the small scale spinning dust emission is generated also when 'SPINDUST_EMISSION_LAW' is 'dl98_composition'. The problem with lensing for some values of LMAX relative to NSIDE, mentioned in the v1.7.1 release page, still exists.

28 September 2011 The PSM run fails if the parameter 'OBS_TASK' is not set in the configuration file (no valid default value). Always define 'OBS_TASK' ('new', 'update' or 'none').
29 September 2011 There is a memory leak in band integration, that causes the PSM eventually to fill the available memory for large scale simulations. Replace the "sky_in_bands.pro" file in "Soft/observation/skyobs/". sky_in_bands.pro v1.26
12 October 2011 Small scale galactic emission is wrong for nside=2048. Replace the "add_smallscale.pro" and "file2ptr.pro" files in "Soft/skymodel/galaxy/", and the "gal_sys_var_init.pro" file in "Soft/skymodel/galaxy/general/". add_smallscale.pro v1.7 file2ptr.pro v1.8 gal_sys_var_init.pro v1.19
08 May 2012 Bug in WMAP sources (excessive flux due to units error for sources not detected in K band) Replace the "psm_wmap_sources.pro" file in "Soft/skymodel/ps/". psm_wmap_sources.pro v1.16
