Spectroscopy: Template Observations

Spectroscopy: Template Observations

UIST observing programmes will be set up using the ORAC-OMP version of the OT. Your starting point will be the template sequences in the UIST library (under UKIRT Template Library). Available sequences are described below.

MSBContentsDescriptionDR Recipes Used
Point Source nod along slitFlat/Arc,
Bright-(standard)-star
Target-observation
Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by again sliding +6″ then -6″ along the slit. Default point-source spectroscopy mode.STANDARD_STAR
POINT_SOURCE
Faint Point Source nod along slitFlat/Arc,
Bright-(standard)-star
Target-observation
Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by again sliding +6″ then -6″ along the slit. The DR assumes standard and target spectra are on the same rowSTANDARD_STAR
FAINT_POINT_SOURCE
Extended Source nod 60″ along slitFlat/Arc,
Bright-(standard)-star
Target-observation
Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by sliding source +60″ then -60″ along slit.STANDARD_STAR
EXTENDED_SOURCE
Extended Source nod 24″ along slitFlat/Arc,
Bright-(standard)-star
Target-observation
Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by sliding source +24″ then -24″ along slit.STANDARD_STAR
EXTENDED_SOURCE
Extended Source nod to skyFlat/Arc,
Bright-(standard)-star
Target-observation
Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by nodding between source and blank sky.STANDARD_STAR
