LW-arm spectroscopic flat

For Recipe and Purpose see section on data reduction of SW-arm spectroscopic flats

Here some example spectroscopic flat products of the Aladdin detector:

LR-grating

LW-arm, LR-grating, J+Block-filter, 1.25 micron	LW-arm, LR-grating, SH-filter, 1.64 micron
LW-arm, LR-grating, SK-filter, 2.20 micron	LW-arm, LR-grating, SL-filter, 3.55 micron

MR-grating

LW-arm, MR-grating, SL-filter, 3.50 micron	LW-arm, MR-grating, M-filter, 4.72 micron

For Recipe and Purpose see section on data reduction of SW-arm arc frames

Here some example arc frames:

LR-grating Arcs:

LW-arm, LR-grating, SL-filter 3.55 micron, Xe+Ar lamp	LW-arm, LR-grating, SH-filter, 4.80 micron, Xe+Ar lamp, (used for science in M-band)

MR-grating Arcs

LW MR SL 4.08 (1rst order)	LW MR J+Block (2nd order)

The Xenon and Argon lamp spectra in the L and M band suffer from the low number of arc lines. To overcome these calibration problems and to provide better optimized arc frames for the calibration the arc frames taken a) with the spectroscopic setup and b) with a distinct broad band filter to sample the spectrum in a higher order. The calibration plan and the association is explained in the following: The INS.FILT.ASSOCNAM key has to be used to associate arcs with science frames or standard star frames. The following table shows the higher order arc settings used

ASSOCIATION*)

*) For a science OB with setup LW-arm, MR-grating, SL-filter and central wavelength < 3.55 micron, arc calibrations are taken with the same setup (LR, MR, SL) and in addition an arc with the SH filter corresponding to the second order. Both arc calibrations are delivered.

For Recipe and Purpose see section on data reduction of SW-arm startrace frames

A combination of 11 stellar raw spectra and the 11 star images subtracted, to demonstrate the Y-shift of the spectrum versus the target position in imaging. The MR grating is used.

As above for the LR grating.

For Recipe and Purpose see section on data reduction of SW-arm telluric standard stars

	Telluric standard star product frame. The spectroscopic setting is LW-arm, MR-grating, SL-filter, 3.30 micron.
	Both telluric standard star raw frames summed up.
	Extracted standard star spectrum.

The --wavecal=std option is an important operational change, but only for SW-arm spectra. The LW-arm spectra are still reduced using the day-time calibration arc frames. There is no air glow sky emission line atlas available for the L and M band.
