This diagram illustrates the effects of floating a box ("inner") and how its "sibling" is forced below it due to the 'clear' property. A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. Text before the "inner" box flows on lines 1 and halfway on line 2. The "inner" box has been floated to the right and occupies the second half of lines 3 and 4. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: 1 Beginning of body contents. ...

... The time taken to read through a quadrant on the array sets a fundamental limit on the fastest electron collection rate which can be achieved by resetting all the pixels. An inherent consequence of the methods of operating the NICMOS array detectors in the ACCUM, MULTIACCUM, and RAMP modes is therefore that there is a minimum possible exposure time, ~ 0.6 seconds (0.302 for MULTIACCUM), set by the time required to read the array. ... Figure 15.1 illustrates the operation of bright object mode. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
