Anamorphic correction: In GMOS-N, the unbinned CCD scale is 0.072" per pixel. For the B1200 l/mm grating, inverse dispersion is 0.23 Ang/pix and a 0.5" slit would give R=3744, FWHM(pix) = R/(lambda)*dispersion projected slit width: FWHM(0.5" slit) = 4.06 unbinned pix * (4000 Ang/lambda) The Anamorphic correction at the central wavelength is given by: A = Cos(alpha)/Cos(beta) ; see alpha, beta definition below GRATING = 'B1200+_G5301' / Grating name GRWLEN = 440. / Grating central wavelength (nm) GRORDER = 1 / Grating order GRTILT = 48.0647 / Grating tilt angle (degrees) for the example above this is: A = 0.67 so this would predict a 0.5" projected width of 0.67/(0.5"/0.072") = 4.65 To find the wavelength dependence, we can use: \alpha = (90 - GRTILT) \beta = (alpha - 50) lambda_central = d*(sin(\alpha) + sin(\beta)) where d=1/(1200) mm = 439.99 nm, for the example above.
