Apertures
(Last update - 02 August '03)
 
Mode Aperture for telescope, arcsec
Spectroscopy 6.40 -1.40
Imaging 0.12 -6.84 -4.14
Imaging 0.06 -3.46 -2.52
IFU 0.49 -1.84
X-disp Spec -- --
Polarimetry 24.09 0.01
Notes:
* All values redone after new centre-of-rotation determined
1. Use the same aperture for imaging-polarimetry and spectro-polarimetry (values tuned to the latter).
2. The arcsec values are simply the mm values x -1.524
3. The first value is E-W, the second N-S, so in the rotated UIST frame the first value is along the slit (up and down, or in Y in pixels - see below)

Mode Location on array, (x,y)
Spectroscopy, 1 pix slit 506.4 590
Spectroscopy, 2 pix slit 505.2 590
Spectroscopy, 4 pix slit 502.2 590
Spectroscopy, 5 pix slit 501.5 590
Spectroscopy, 7 pix slit 507.7 590
X-disp Spectros, 3 pix slit 503.5 5412
X-disp Spectros, 5 pix slit 503.4 5412
X-disp Spectros, 7 pix slit 504.0 5412
Spec-Pol, 2 pix slit 510.6 7402
Spect-Pol, 5 pix slit 511.6 7402
IFU 497 542
Imaging, 1024x1024 480 480
Imaging, 512x512 224 224
Imaging Polarimetry 511 7403

Notes:
1. Centre of rotation is at (x,y)=.... (ask Russell)
2. Rough y-axis centre of each cross-dispersed 20" slit, or the top spec-pol slit, on array.
3. For polarimetry, in imaging mode WITHOUT the prism in the beam, putting a star on the above location will put the star in the center of the top slit in the 5-pixel spec-pol-mask (or the centre of the top aperture in the imaging-pol-mask).
