1.3 Proposal Preparations and Observations
with STIS
Use the STIS Instrument Handbook together with the
Cycle 14Call for Proposals (CP)andHST Primerwhen assembling your STIS Phase I proposal. The CP provides policy and instructions for proposing. The HST Primer provides a basic introduction to the technical aspects of HST and its instruments, and explains how to calculate the appropriate number of orbits for your Phase I observing time requests. The STIS Instrument Handbook contains technical information about STIS describing its expected performance and presenting suggestions for use. Chapter 2 in the Handbook describes special considerations for Cycle 14.If your Phase I proposal is accepted, you will be asked to submit a Phase II proposal in which you specify the exact configurations, exposure times, and sequences of observations that STIS and the telescope should perform. To assemble your Phase II proposal, use the STIS Instrument Handbook in conjunction with the
Phase II Proposal Instructions. These instructions describe the exact rules and syntax that apply to the planning and scheduling of STIS observations and provide relevant observatory information.11.3.1 The Spectrographs Group at STScI
STScI has a team of Instrument Scientists, Scientific Programmers, and Data Analysts who support the development, operation, and calibration of STIS. The team is also responsible for supporting STIS users. Furthermore, the Spectrographs Branch provides archival support for the heritage instruments FOS and GHRS.
