14.5 FUV-MAMA


This section provides the basic properties of the filters available for use with the FUV-MAMA detector.  The field of view of the FUV-MAMA is 25 arcsec × 25 arcsec, unless otherwise stated.  The FUV imaging sensitivity has been decreasing with time, with a time dependence very similar to that seen for the G140L mode (see Figure 7.15).  Note that the sensitivities given are projected values for August 2008.

Users may also want to consider whether the ACS SBC detector might be better for their observing program.  The SBC has a slightly larger field-of-view, a wider selection of filters, and better throughput at most wavelengths.
