Extended downtime notice

Due to a planned outage on Friday, April 12th starting at noon through Sunday, April 14th, access to this site will be unavailable during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Specifications for HST/GHRS Selections for Scrapbook

Permitted Observing Configurations:

Rank Far-UV Mid-UV
First choice: G140L G270M
Second: G160M Ech - B
Third: G200M  
Fourth: G140M  
Fifth: Ech - A  

Problems:

MINWAVE, MAXWAVE header keywords must be fixed for those datasets with currently questionable values and which also contain *.c0,   *.c1 files; for those datasets wavelength limits taken from data files and will replace the current erroneous ones.

Specifications for selected representative dataset:

Short- (<2000 Angstroms) and long-wavelength spectra will be displayed for a given object whenever they both exist.

Low resolutions will have preference (as ranked below).

Select observation with the longest exposure time for a given grating configuration.

For two or more otherwise-equivalent observations, choose the observation first done.

Comments:

N.B.: Previews will be redone by CADC.

"GHRS Caveat": in case of observations existing at high-res for a target nucleus, and low res nearby, pick the dataset for the target nucleus.
