The IMAPS-1 wavelengths were generated using an IDL routine (wave1.pro) which requires as input, the x and y pixel location, and the order number and wavelength, of one spectral feature identified in the IMAPS image. Based on this one fiducial wavelength, the program generates a wavelength array for each order. The starting wavelength and wavelength increment are then stored in the binary table extension contained in the coadded image FITS file.
The table below shows the wavelength (in Å ), order number, echelle position (1-4), x & y position (in pixels), and the line identification for the fiducial spectral feature used in each of the coadded, corrected IMAPS-1 images. Since these line identifications are the basis for the IMAPS-1 wavelength calibrations, any errors in these values would affect the wavelength calibration for that particular image.
Note that no other wavelength corrections have been applied to the IMAPS-1 files, and the source of the absorption line used determines the wavelength reference frame. For example, since most of the files use interstellar lines, the wavelength assignments would correspond to an interstellar reference frame. Note telluric lines were used for a few files.
