In Table 4.1 through Table 4.5, the accuracies are listed for each basic observation mode of the STIS: CCD spectroscopy, MAMA spectroscopy, CCD imaging, MAMA imaging, and target acquisition. The MAMA pixels in these tables are low resolution pixels. All accuracies quoted are 2σ limits, and reflect our current understanding of STIS calibration. Any updates to these accuracies will be documented in Chapter 16.1 of the STIS Instrument Handbook. The main sources of inaccuracy are discussed in some detail in the next subsections.We remind you that calibration data are, and have always been, made non-proprietary immediately after they are (or were) taken. Should you have a need for higher accuracy or urgent results, you may wish to consider direct analysis of the calibration data for your particular observing mode (see also Chapter 17 of the STIS Instrument Handbook for a description of our on-orbit calibration program).Table 4.1: CCD Spectroscopic Accuracies

All accuracies refer to prime wavelength settings and directly calibrated special secondary settings. Intermediate settings have roughly a factor of two less accuracy.
Assumes use of a 2″ wide photometric slit.
Photometric accuracies referenced are for continuum sources; equivalent width and line profile measures are subject to other uncertainties (such as spectral purity and background subtraction).
This accuracy excludes the G230LB and G230MB modes when used with red targets, for which grating scatter can cause large inaccuracies in the flux calibration; see Gregg et al., (2005 HST Calibration Workshop) available at URL http://www.stsci.edu/hst/HST_overview/documents/calworkshop/workshop2005/papers/gregg.pdf

For 0.2X0.2 arcsecond slit. These are typical accuracies which can be 2 to 3 times better or worse as a function of wavelength (see STIS ISR 98-18 for details).
