0.2X0.09 Aperture

Description

This slit is used with high resolution echelle gratings. This slit is two pixels wide in the dispersion direction for the MAMA echelle gratings, providing optimal spectral resolution and line profiles.

Special Considerations

Used with E140H and E230H grating only. Observations with this slit require a prior PEAKUP.
