DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview
    =================
      At the ESO La Silla site is a direct imaging facility (DIFA) at the
      A Nasmyth focus of the NTT, in front of the image derotator which
      feeds the IRSPEC infrared spectrograph. Two remotely-controlled
      45-degree mirrors can be inserted in the light beam to deviate the
      telescope beam either to a CCD camera (SUSI) or to an infrared
      array.
 
      The IRSPEC at the NTT was upgraded at the beginning of the 1991
      season by replacing its linear detector with a 2D SBRC 58x62 pixel
      InSb array which exhibits good cosmetic quality and high quantum
      efficiency from 1 to 5 micrometers. In order to optimize the
      performance of this array, a multiple non-destructive sampling mode
      was included within the new VME-based acquisition system developed
      at ESO. Together with measures to reduce the instrumental
      background, an improvement in sensitivity of about 20 has been
      achieved in the 1-2.5-micrometer region. The resolving power now
      ranges from 1500 to 3000 for two pixel sampling with a 4-arcsec
      slit, and the slit length is 2 arcmin.
 
 
    Processing
    ==========
      The IRSPEC data have two PIs: Rita Schulz and Therese Encrenaz with
      CoIs:  Joachim Steuwe, and Gunther Wiedemann.  The IRSPEC data were
      taken from July 23 through July 31.  The data have been 'flux
      calibrated' but due to the difficult weather situation during the
      observations the values have to be 'taken with care.'
 
      The individual IRSPEC files have an index table (IRSPINDX) located
      in the INDEX directory.

ABSTRACT_TEXT At the ESO La Silla site is a direct imaging facility (DIFA) at the A Nasmyth focus of the NTT, in front of the image derotator which feeds the IRSPEC infrared spectrograph. Two remotely-controlled 45-degree mirrors can be inserted in the light beam to deviate the telescope beam either to a CCD camera (SUSI) or to an infrared array.
