Developer's notes

Currently the omgchain checks for the presence of the complete set of sub-windows in the ODF (for the case of the Engineering-2 data). The sub-windows are combined if a single image only if all four sub-windows are present, otherwise each sub-window is processed separately.

The OM-grism photometric accuracy and spectral resolution is under investigation. In any case the spectral resolution cannot be better than 8 pixels ($\sim 50$ Å for the visual grism and $\sim 20$ Å  for the UV).

The correction for coincidence loss is not applied currently because omgchain deals with extended sources. The reliable coincidence-loss correction method for extended sources is not developed yet. However, for faint to moderately bright spectra the effect should be less than 10%. For spectra affected by the strongly visible modulo-8 patterns, where coincidence loss is important, the extracted spectra are unreliable.

Some zero- and first-order spectra may overlap (see, e.g. Fig.7). This situation is currently not treated, and the user should be aware of such a possibility. In such cases zero-order images may cause inappropriate scaling of the output plot (Fig.8).
