Input

Wavelength
grism
observing wavelength [Å]
integral range (e.g., spectral resolution) [Å]
Object Flux
object magnitude [AB mag]
object flux in the wavelength range [erg cm-2 s-1] * Total flux in the "integral range"
seeing (or FWHM of target)
object magnitude [AB mag arcsec-2]
object flux in the wavelength range [erg cm-2 s-1 arcsec-2]
Number of combining fibers 1 fiber = 0.6111 [arcsec2]
Observation Settings
exposure time of a frame [sec]
number of frames
Sky Condition

[erg cm-2 s-1 arcsec-2 Å-1]
Airmass
Elevation
1 / cos(90° - Elevation)
[deg]
For Experts
field of view per fiber [arcsec2]
optics throughput (including atmosphere and telescope) [%] (cf. see throughput@20220722)
