... A GRIM Spectroscopy Primer . ... SLIT WIDTH . ... It may take more than one iteration of the procedure for calculating the offset before you land your object(s) on the slit, but taking a short-duration exposure in "Spectral" mode once you think you're there will help confirm the pointing. ... The image header variables FILTER1, FILTER2, LENS, GRISM, SLIT give the current status of GRIM II's mechanical configuration. ... This document summarizes both types of GRIM keywords and provides usage examples...
GRIM II's detector is a Rockwell 256x256 NICMOS3 HgCdTe array sensitive from 1-2.5 microns. ... 70% Gain(2) 4.73 +- .2 e- A.D.U.^-1 Read noise(2) 110 +- 20 e- Linear well depth (3) 130,000 e- Dark current < 1 e- sec.^ ... The electronic gain and read noise were measured using the photon transfer technique (Janesick, Klaasen, & Elliott 1987). The photon transfer technique uses the data's noise properties to measure the read noise and gain. ... Each "exposure" consists of two "reads". ...

These line plots were made by placing an Ar discharge lamp and power supply about 8 inches away from GRIM's entrance window. ... For most purposes, we advise that observers request a setup similar to the one used here for getting Ar lamp wavecals. ... postscript . jpeg . ... The low resolution of GRIM yields broad lines that make it difficult to distinguish blends, so these are the best guesses. ...
... If you have centered the object on the chip the pattern will put the object in each of the 4 quadrants of the chip. ... They are the offset in arcseconds for the x and y inst plane offset, the exposure time in seconds, and the number of exposures at each position. ... A point about offsets should be made here. The dither program uses absolute instrument plane offsets, so you should use object plane offsets to center up on the chip so that the script starts from where you centered up. ...
... 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. ...

On 19/20 October 1995 we used GRIM II to attempt spectroscopy of the 2.3 micron CO absorption band in stellar clusters. ... Read Noise Our typical backgrounds in 60s were about 100 DN (about 500 e), and so for faint objects our noise is utterly dominated by the read noise of about 110 e. We can think of three ways to improve this situation: integrate longer; reduce the read noise; or implement multiple reads. ... Flats The quartz lamps were too dim for flats. ...
