Last revised: 30/7/97 Telescope: Dtel = 4m, f/11 Filter BP = 40A Seeing = 0.8" CCD: pixel size = 15um area = 4k x 2k ron = 6e Instrument: Similar layout to Strawman design but with two 1200g/mm gratings operating near-littrow efficiency = 0.36 (unchanged) Dcoll = 120mm (collimated beam size) dispersion = 2.03 pxl/A scale = 2.565 pxl/arcsec (dispersion direction) = 2.565 pxl/arcsec (spatial direction) field = 13.3 x 13.3 arcmin PSF = 2.17 pxl (dispersion direction, including 0.35A intrinsic width) = 2.05 pxl (spatial direction) Background: sky = 21.4 mag/arcsec2 galaxy = 21.8 mag/arcsec2 (near centre) total = 21.1 mag/arcsec2 (sky + 0.5 galaxy is taken as appropriate for part of the image not too close to the galaxy centre) Fluxes: PN* = 1.3 10-15 erg/cm2/s at D = 3.3 Mpc (brightest PN) Typical Observation: D = 20 Mpc N(obs) = 14 T(integration) = 2,000s Counts for PN* = 5363 (per arm) Background = 12687 (per pixel, each arm) Science goals: Detection as complete as possible in the brightness range PN* to (PN* + 2.5mag) Radial velocities to (1sigma) accuracy of 20km/s in the brightness range (PN* + 2.0mag) -- i.e. sigma is 28 km/s in each arm.
