M Washington k1007 1140.00 5100.00 Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope Mosaic M Washington k1007 M Washington k1007 Note that there is a shift in central wavelength when placed in different f/ratio beams. At the KPNO 4meter f/3.1 beam this corresponds to a shift of approximately 12 Angstroms bluer; at the CTIO 4meter f/2.9 this corresponds to a shift of approximately 15 Angstroms bluer; at the WIYN 0.9m f/7.9 this corresponds to a shift of approximately 5 Angstroms bluer. See plot at the bottom of the page.
M Washington k1007 Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope Mosaic M Washington k1007 M Washington k1007 Below is a plot of the transmission of this filter when used at telescopes with differing focal ratios and central obscurations; the KPNO 4m (f/3.1), the CTIO 4m (f/2.9), and the WIYN 0.9m (f/7.9). At the KPNO 4m f/3.1 the properties of this filter are: CWL=5168A, FWHM=1126A, PEAK TRANSMISSION=86.5%.
M Washington c6007 1020.00 5020.00 Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope Mosaic M Washington c6007 M Washington c6007 Note: The central wavelength of CTIO Mosaic narrow band filters (actually all filters, but is very significant for narrow band filters) is shifted ~15A to the BLUE in the f/2.87 beam of the Blanco 4m + PFADC corrector as compared to the transmission measured in parallel light. The central wavelength quoted below is nominally for when the filter is used at PF, with the ~15A shift included. Furthermore, the filter transmission curve presented below shows the simulated filter transmission curve for the Blanco 4m + PFADC f/2.87 beam.
