XSHOOTER Documentation

  • XSHOOTER reference article: Vernet et al. 2011. Please cite this article when using XSHOOTER data in publications.
  • Find here a document describing the NIR readout mode and its different regimes (normal, inter/extrapolated, saturated).
  • Problem with wavelength shift between the XSHOOTER arms. A document prepared by S. Moehler explains the physical and pipeline origins as well as the corrective actions taken.
  • The Virtual Image Slicer mode allows to observe bright objects that would otherwise saturate, but also to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in single exposures.
