7. Example 4 - Beyond 2.3 microns K-band Longslit Point Source (111 l/mm grating)
In this example, we will reduce a GNIRS K-band longslit observation with a
central wavelength beyond 2.3
m with the 111 l/mm grating. The target is
HD 179821, likely a yellow hypergiant star.
The particularity of this sequence is that the arc lamp has only five
lines and the OH and O2 lines are absent beyond 2.3
m. To get an accurate
wavelength calibration, we have to use The emission features in the sky spectrum of the
science observations.
