#----------------------------Slit info ------------------------------------ # This info is needed to calculate how far the center of the slit # is away from the limb. Wwe are assuming the edge of the slit # is placed on the limb of the planet (theta = 90). however, if # the width of the slit is perpendicular to the tangent of Venus' # limb, then the slit width cuts through longitude. If the slit width # is parallel to the tangent of the Venusian limb, then the slit length # cuts to longitude and you will cover a larger zenith angle. # We want to find the zenith angle at the center of the slit. See # reduction notes for diagram and full description. # # The slit angle is the angle measured from the base of the ecam image # (the horizontal of the ecam image drawn across the center of the) and the # spot of the slit on Venus. Measure from base. Go from 0 - 90. # # Best way to see the slit on the ds9 image is to use 'linear' and 'zscale' # together. # # #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Delta Slit Slit Outside Slit Angle # (AU) Width Height Zenith angle on Venus # (arcsec) (arcsec) of slit (degrees from # ecam horizontal) #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.707 1.6 3.2 80 45 0.707 1.6 3.2 30 45
