... Data . ... Both the FUVOP and the NUVOP disperse the beam in a direction roughly parallel to the decreasing line number direction with angles of approximately 8 degrees and 11 degrees from the -L direction respectively. This dispersion angle can be seen clearly in Figures 8.2 and 8.3 which show f /96 images taken with the FUVOP and the NUVOP respectively. ... The wavelengths determined from objective prism spectra using these dispersion curves should have a / error of <1% for f /96 spectra. ...
