Calibration

Wavelength calibration of GMOS is obtained using GCAL, the facility calibration unit. Flat-fielding is done with GCAL or on the sky at the end of the night. Baseline calibrations will be obtained for all observations, both queue and classical.

  • Baseline Calibrations
  • GCAL
  • Flat/Arc Exp. Times
  • Photometric Stds
  • Spectroscopic Stds
  • Examples: arcs (with line wavelengths indicated), flats, biases
