ABSTRACT
We describe the STIS apertures, which comprise UV/Optical filters, Neutral Density filters,
spectroscopic slits, coronographic masks and clear apertures of different sizes, and
present the nomenclature used to define the STIS apertures for the PDB and STIS proposal
instructions.
1. Introduction
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) offers four observing configurations,
1st-order long-slit spectroscopy, echelle spectroscopy, slitless spectroscopy and direct
imaging. In order to support these diverse capabilities the STIS slit wheel contains five
classes of focal plane apertures:
•
Longslits - for 1st Order spectroscopy
•
Echelle slits - for echelle spectroscopy
•
Clear apertures - for target acqusition and slitless spectroscopy
•
Filtered apertures - for UV and visible bandpass imaging
•
Coronographic apertures - for spectroscopic and imaging coronography.
In total the STIS slit wheel contains 65 aperture slots. Some of the aperture slots contain
multiple slits or masks and so the total number of specified apertures exceeds the number
of aperture slots. A complete summary of available apertures is presented in Table 1,
where the slits have been ordered in categories which describe their primary use. The slit
number corresponds to the location of the slit in the flight software table.

2. 1st order spectroscopic science apertures (long slits)
There are ten apertures designed for spectroscopy of point and extended sources with the
first order grating complement. Six of the long slits are 52” in length and have widths
ranging from 0.049 to 2”. The slits all have two fiducial bars which are intended to be used
as reference points during the extraction of spectra (see Figure 1). An additional 0.1” wide
slit has three occulting bars spaced at 13” intervals (see Figure 2). The remaining long slits
are designed to facilitate observations of moving targets where scheduling of specific roll
angles may be problematic. For this reason each set of the two ‘planetary’ slits, are tilted

at angles of +45o and -45o. The design of these slits is also different from the other long
slits, as is shown in Figure 3. It should be noted that the four slits have a support strut at
each end of the central slit, which divide it from the wider, outer components of the slit
(not shown in Figure 3). Note that these struts will not be available for use as occulting
bars. For low spectral resolution observations of planets, in particular Io, there is a 2”x2”
slit for use with the first order gratings. There are three long slits, of length 31”, which
have three different values of neutral density filters. These slits are primarily intended for
flat field calibration, but are also suitable for observations of bright objects.

3. Echelle slits
STIS features a large complement of echelle slits offering a large range of slits widths and
lengths. The STIS echelle slits come in sets. There are three groups of slits with widths
ranging from 0.063” to 0.2”, for lengths of 0.1”, 0.2” and 0.33”. In addition, there are a
number of individual slits with sizes ranging from 0.025”x0.1, to 6”x6”. For continuum
lamp calibrations and observations of bright sources there are two echelle slits with neutral
density filters. The ‘high signal/noise’ slits (see Figure 4), comprise five slits spaced at distances appropriate for optimum recombination of the spectra. There are two of these
apertures with different slit widths, five 0.063”x0.2 “slits and five 0.2”x0.2” slits.
4. Fail-Safe slits
Fail-safe slits have been mounted on the STIS slit wheel to prevent a complete loss of
spectroscopic capabilities, if the slit wheel were to fail, during a mechanism movement.
The fail-safe slits are mounted between imaging apertures and slits, so that there is usually
a usable slit aperture in the instrument’s field of view (see DWG 521911). The calibration
region of the slit wheel does not have fail safe slits, as it is was felt that stray light through
clear fail-safe slits, near heavily ND-attenuated calibration slits, might render the calibration slits unusable. These slits are listed here for completeness, but will never be used in
normal operational conditions, consequently they are not discussed further in this document. The numbers assigned to fail-safe slits in this document supersede previous slit
number assignments in the Ball Aerospace drawing DWG 521911.

5. STIS Camera Apertures
STIS offers filtered and unfiltered imaging capabilities, primarily to assist in target acquisition and target identification. The camera filters are comprised of several groups of
July 1996
STIS Instrument Science Report 95-008D
Page 6
apertures:
•
UV filters for Band 1 and Band 2 MAMA imaging
•
Visible filters for Band 3 and Band 4 CCD imaging
•
Neutral density filters to assist in target acquisition
•
clear, unfiltered apertures + occulting masks for coronography
The clear apertures are designed to permit unfiltered imaging for both the MAMA and
CCD detectors, and in the case of the MAMAs objective prism spectroscopy. The coronographic mask is shown in Figure 5 and comprises a pair of crossed wedges and 2 fingers at
the edge of the field of view. Since the coronographic mask is a slit wheel element it cannot be used in combination with a filter, and so will be used for unfiltered imaging for the
both MAMA and CCD observations. The mask is designed for a 50”x50” aperture, so
MAMA observations with the coronographic mask will require a number of different
mode select mechanism positions to place different regions of the mask in the field of
view. A number of locations on the occulting masks have been specified, to correspond to
widths of 2.75”, 2.5”, 2.0”, 1.75” and 1.0” on each wedge, and are shown in Figure 6. The
initial mask design featured two occulting bars, however, the smaller aperture BAR5 was
damaged during system integration and has been removed.

6. Calibration apertures
STIS has a number of slits designed exclusively for the calibration of first order and
echelle mode spectroscopic observations. There are three long slits with different ND filters to permit flat field calibration of first order spectroscopic observations by reducing the
calibration lamp intensity to an acceptable level for the MAMA detectors. For calibration
of the echelle modes, there are five slits, which are designed for use with the echelle cross
dispersed gratings. Three of these slits are clear and used for the echelle mode flat fields,
while two have neutral density filters for flat fielding of the medium resolution echelle
modes where calibration lamp intensity levels are too high for the MAMA detectors.
7. PDB aperture file
The STIS apertures have been assigned names suitable for entry into PDB tables. The
assigned PDB names are shown in Table 2. The table lists the aperture number corresponding to the aperture’s location in the flight software table, the flight software name
(used for commanding), the PDB name, and the aperture name used in the proposal
instructions. The PDB names have been assigned using the following rules:
•
Each aperture has separate PDB names for each detector used with that aperture.
•
The first letter, “O” indicates a STIS instrument aperture
•
The second letter indicates the detector for that PDB name
F = FUV-MAMA,
•
N = NUV-MAMA,
•
V = Visible CCD.
•
Clear and filtered apertures are defined by size of the aperture side in asec
•
Slits are defined as length x width, where the units are given in asec for dimensions
>1 asec and in masec for dimensions < 1 asec.

8. Aperture assignments to STIS spectral elements
The STIS apertures can all be associated with one or more spectroscopic and imaging configurations of STIS. In Table 3 below, the apertures have been categorized by optical
element for the full complement of supported and available modes. This table will be used
by the ground system to check that a given combination of aperture and optical element is
compatible with the complement of available and supported operating configurations.
Aperture and grating combinations not itemized in Table 3 will not be recognized by the
ground system and, thus, cannot be implemented as stored commanding for STIS. In
Table 4 we show the same categorization of STIS apertures for GO supported operating
configurations only.

9. Revision History
Version B
Revisions to Supported and Available modes
Version C
The following changes have been made in this version:
•
Planetary slits have been added to echelle modes in the available list
•
All names for the filter ND6 have been changed to ND3
•
Errors in filter numbering were corrected
•
The supported and available filter list was updated to match the proposal instructions
•
The aperture figures have been updated with measured dimensions of apertures
•
New PDB names were created to allow the echelle apertures to be used with the CCD
e.g. for acq/peak.
•
The following apertures have been removed from Table 2, because the smaller occulting bar in the 50CORON aperture was damaged. Its suitability for science observations should be reviewed, post-launch, if it is not physically removed from the
instrument in the meantime.

Version D
The following changes have been made in this version:
•
A new figure showing location of coronographic apertures, plus a correction to coronographic nomenclature WEDGEA1.5 and WEDGEB1.5 have been changed to
WEDGEA1.0 and WEDGEB1.0.
•
A slit for prism wavecals has been added to the available and supported modes
•
The 52x2 slit has been added to supported 1st order modes
•
Neutral density longslits has been added to available echelle modes and were eliminated from the cross-dispersed modes
•
Clear apertures and neutral density filters have been added to the available and supported echelle modes
Outstanding issues:
The following additions are being currently being developed by the STIS Science Team
and will be added in the next revision of this document:
•
Addition of NUV filters to the list of available CCD imaging modes.
•
Addition of new apertures for flat fielding the long-slits in regions normally occulted
by the fiducials. This will involve defining new filter wheel positions for these new slit
apertures.
