Image quality of FLAMINGOS-2 lab measurements

March 21, 2013

Initial assessment of the imaging performance of FLAMINGOS-2 shows on-axis FWHM~0.35 arcsec in the central region, and FWHM~0.44 arcsec out to 2.5 arcminutes radius, with further degradation toward the extreme edges of the field.

 

A plot of the measurements is posted on the Status and Availability page, which proposers should consult for the 2013B proposal cycle.
