abstract:

    line_1:        Aim is to monitor the throughput of the F96 relay. The Throughput of the F/96
    line_2:        was extensively measured during SV. This proposal repeats some of those
    line_3:        measurements to verify that the throughput of the F/96 relay is not changing.
    line_4:        Since the far UV part of the F/96 throughput is already being regularly
    line_5:        monitored by an observatory level proposal, this proposal only checks those
    line_6:        filters with longer wavelengths. Six medium band filters, chosen to span the
    line_7:        rest of the F/96 wavelength range, are used. They are: F253M, F307M, F346M,
    line_8:        F410M,  and F550M. The proposal is carried out very much in the same way as
    line_9:        SV proposal 1511 except that no interactive acquisitions will be used.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        To measure the throughput of the OTA + FOC we shall image UV-optical
    line_2:        spectrophotometric standards through a limited sampling of F/96 medium
    line_3:        band filters. The filters have been precisely calibrated at the
    line_4:        unit level. As we know their transmisison characteristics
    line_5:        accurately, and we know the flux of the standard star, we can determine
    line_6:        the sensitivity of the OTA + FOC from the observed FOC photon counts.
    line_7:        The throughput must be evaluated at a number of different wavelengths.
    line_8:        The results will be compared to those obtained for the same filters from
    line_9:        SV proposal 1511.
