+Crosstalk coefficients for LATISS.
+These were created by Chris Waters on DM-37819 and have been part of the default calibration collection.
+The crosstalk coefficients are being transferred to here as a "curated calibration" to make sure they are always available for testing, as the new LSST ISR task assumes crosstalk matrices are always available.
+The script to make these crosstalk tables can be run on USDF:
+`python $OBS_LSST_DIR/python/lsst/obs/lsst/script/write_latiss_crosstalk_coeffs.py`
