COS Spectral Resolution

The table below provides the line spread function for COS at various wavelengths.

For more information on COS spectral resolution see section 5.1.6 of the COS IHB.

Line Spread Functions (LSF) or instrumental profiles give the detailed distribution of light along the primary dispersion axis.
