Location of FOS Polarimetry Spectra  6/93
by Anuradha Koratkar and Cynthia Taylor

Abstract excerpted from this report:
  The location of the spectra for plarimetric obsercvations were determined for
  both the read and blue detectors using calibration maps obtained on May 12
  1993 (proposal ID 4697).  The analysis for the blue side detector showed 
  that the positions of the spectra are relatively stable.  Since the in-orbit 
  GIMP corrections are now conducted routinely, the red detector can be used for
  polarimetry.  Hence, in-flight Y-bases for the red detector were determined
  for the first time.
