Units of spectra in iMaNGA dataset

Hi

I have a question about the units of fluxes in the iMaNGA spectra. I could not find this information in the dataset header, so I am asking here.

Are the units of the fluxes of each spectrum the same as those used in MaNGA (1e-17 erg / (Angstrom cm2 s spaxel))? I am assuming that the fluxes in the cubes use F_lambda (wavelength flux).

Unfortunately the first author has left the field, so we are unlikely to get a direct answer.

However, the codebase is available on github. I hope you should be able to find the answer to your question. If you, please let us know, and I will update the TNG documentation.
