ST-ECF Instrument Science Report WFC3-2005-07 Ground tests of the WFC3 NIR grisms S. S. Larsen, H. Bushouse, J. R. Walsh March 2005 ABSTRACT The fundamental parameters of a slitless dispersing element are the geometrical configuration of the spectral orders, the dispersion relation relating pixel offset to wavelength and the sensitivity of each order. Based on thermal vacuum tests, the performance of the WFC3 near-IR G102 and G141 grisms has been assessed. ... WFC3 IR Grism Modeling and Rotations. ...

... The calibration of astrophysical spectra in wavelength based on calibration lamp data suffers from different kinds of uncertainties. Besides inaccuracies in the observational phase, common data reduction practice adds ``pixelation'' errors, due to the fact that the centering method does not use the correct PSF. These model mismatch errors depend, for a given feature, on the sub-pixel location of the line center (David & Verschueren, private communication). ...

... A universal physical relation for quasars . ... Harvey Tananbaum and his collaborators have first observed a relation between the soft X-ray and the optical/ultraviolet emission in AGN in 1979. Such relation is nonlinear, and it is usually parameterized as dependence between the logarithm of the monochromatic luminosities at 2500 †Е ( L 2500†Е ) and 2 keV ( L 2keV ) . ... Yet, the dispersion along the L 2500†Е тАУ L 2keV relationship is found to be rather high, typically ~0.35тАУ0.4 in log units. ...

The Optical Solar Sensor (OSD) has been designed to determine the direction towards the center of the Sun's visible disc. The direction to the Sun is computed in the instrument coordinate system relative to the pixels' position on the linear CCDs illuminated with the light passed through the incoming coding mask. The OSD coding mask has three groups of slits with three slits in each group. This mask configuration provides for reliability increase as well as for the required accuracy. ...

... This page is intended to give the reader who is unfamiliar with the spectroscopy mode of GRIM enough basic information to be able to effectively plan observations, somewhere between a FAQ and the actual User Manual. ... A slit is placed in the optical path near the grism; otherwise, slitless spectroscopy can be done in the "objective prism" mode. ... Keep this in mind if you chose to dither the position of your object along the slit in order to make a master sky frame for calibration purposes. ...
