Throughput
Throughput is end-to-end effective area divided by the geometric area of an
unobstructed 2.4 meter aperture.
Throughput curves linked above typically have 5% accuracy.
In imaging mode, unfiltered STIS throughput
exceeds WFPC2
throughput. For visible light imaging, ACS should have better throughput than
STIS.
Visible light
throughput curves for unfiltered STIS MAMA detectors show that the FUV-MAMA is
effectively solar blind, though
long wavelength
contamination in cool stars can be significant in imaging mode.
Updated throughput estimates for CCD imaging modes
(unfiltered and F28X50LP) were implemented in the pipeline on 2001-Jul-11.
