Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Instrument Handbook for Cycle 14

0.2X0.05ND Aperture

---

Description

Supported neutral-density-filtered slit for use with bright objects with the echelle gratings. The dex ND factor is 2.0.

Special Considerations

Observations with this slit require a prior PEAKUP. This aperture can also be used with the CCD for ACQ/PEAKs.
