A.1 Introduction
STIS provides additional available-but-unsupported capabilities beyond those which will be routinely supported. Section 2.4 describes the distinction between supported and available-but-unsupported modes, and the policy with regard to the use of the latter.
This appendix to the STIS Instrument Handbook provides information about the additional available-but-unsupported capabilities of STIS. Since all of the imaging capabilities are supported, it contains information relevant to spectroscopic observations only. Briefly, these comprise the use of numerous additional entrance slits or apertures beyond those which are currently supported, and a small number of central wavelength settings which have been removed from the set of supported settings due to difficulties with them (e.g., order overlap).
