GoodToKnow

• Atmospheric Ozone Feature: ~9.3 ... 10.1µm unreliable (center: 9.7µm); mini peak in the middle of the feature is at 9.58µm -- this can be used to calibrate the wavelength scale
• Emission lines in (and around) the N band
  • 8.99 µm [Ar II]
  • 10.51 µm [S IV]
  • 12.81 µm [Ne II]
  • 18.71 µm [S III]

Definitions

• Jansky: 1 \mathrm{Jy} = 10^{-26} \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{Hz} \cdot \mathrm{m^2}} = 10^{-23} \frac{\mathrm{erg}}{\mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{Hz} \cdot \mathrm{cm^2}}

Observational bands / filters

• NIR
  • J band: 1.3 µm, 2.3 \cdot 10^{14} Hz
  • H band: 1.65 µm, 1.8 \cdot 10^{14} Hz
  • K band: 2.2 µm, 1.4 \cdot 10^{14} Hz
  • L band: 3.8 µm, 7.9 \cdot 10^{13} Hz
  • M band: 4.5 µm, 6.7 \cdot 10^{13} Hz
• MIR
  • N band: 8 - 13 µm, \approx 3 \cdot 10^{13} Hz
  • Q band: 16 - 25 µm, \approx 1.5 \cdot 10^{13} Hz
