Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Version 1 0 release of Epoch 2 of Abell 2744, after the completion of all the ACS and WFC3/IR imaging on the main cluster and parallel field from our Frontier Fields program (13495, PI: J Lotz), in addition to imaging from programs 11689 (PI: R Dupke), 13386 (PI: S Rodney), and 13389 (PI: B Siana) These v1 0 mosaics have been fully recalibrated relative to the v0 5 mosaics that we released regularly throughout the course of this epoch during May, June and July 2014 For ACS, the v1 0 mosaics incorporate new bias and dark current reference files, along with CTE correction and bias destriping, and also include a set of mosaics that have been processed with the new selfcal approach to better account for the low-level dark current structure The WFC3/IR v1 0 mosaics have improved masking for persistence and bad pixels, and in addition include a set of mosaics that have been corrected for time-variable sky emission that can occur during the orbit and can otherwise impact the up-the-ramp count-rate fitting if not properly corrected Further details are provided in the readme file, which can be obtained along with all the mosaics at the following location:

• Latest mosaics: http://archive stsci edu/pub/hlsp/frontier/abell2744/images/hst/v1 0-epoch2/
• All mosaics: http://archive stsci edu/prepds/frontier/abell2744 html

More general information about the data for this project can be obtained from our Frontier Fields MAST archive website: * http://archive stsci edu/prepds/frontier/ as well as our main Frontier Fields HST project website: * http://www stsci edu/hst/campaigns/frontier-fields/ and our Frontier Fields astronomer's blog and other social media: * https://blogs stsci edu/hstff/ * https://twitter com/MAST_News/ * https://facebook com/MASTArchive/

We hope that these high-level science products are useful for your research, and we welcome any suggestions or questions that you may have about them
