Shape of a Slit Image
The following equations represent the shape of a slit image,
where
is the coordinates of the edge of the slit image relative to the center at (
), which are calculated by Eqs. 3 and 4.
The parameters
and
are the angles corresponding to the half-width and half-length, respectively, of the slit against the echelle grating.
The definitions of the other parameters are the same as those of Eqs. 3 and 4.
