FIES exposure-meter count calculator (fiber bundle D)
Stellar input
Spectral type
     
Orion nebula
FIES setup
Fiber CCD gain [e-/ADU] CCD bin mode
                 
Signal to Noise
Required S/N
   
Needed peak counts on FIES CCD: 17600 ADU

Needed exposure-meter counts: 1590000   ( 1.59 million )

  • The S/N is that in the reduced spectrum per (binned) wavelength bin.

  • The CCD15 linearity limit is 1100000 ADU.

  • This FIES exposure-meter count calculator was calibrated for fiber bundle D,
         after the relocation of the exposure meter in FIES (Nov 2023).
