Space Telescope Science Institute  52X2E1, 52X2E2, and 52X2D1 Pseudo-apertures 0.2X0.06 Aperture

52X0.2F1 Aperture


Description

The same physical aperture as the 52X0.2 but used at the position of the smaller of the two fiducials. The fiducial bar can be used for spectroscopic coronagraphic observations. The throughput for the unocculted 52X0.2 aperture is given below.

Special Considerations

Observations using this slit do not need to be preceded by a PEAKUP.
