ACAM CuAr arc maps

The plots below aid identification of the lines seen in CuAr arc exposures (the annotated wavelengths are approximate).
  1. Blue end of ACAM spectrum, ~ 4500 - 7000 A
  2. Red end of ACAM spectrum, ~ 6700 - 9700 A

Arc maps for CuNe are also available.

Additional line identifications can be found in the arc-lamp maps for the ISIS blue and red arms (La Palma technical notes 125 and 126).

(1) Blue end of ACAM spectrum, ~ 4500 - 7000 A:

Expected arc lines (data obtained with a different ING instrument):


The confused labels near 5500 A above indicate 5495, 5558 and 5606 A.

(2) Red end of ACAM spectrum, ~ 6700 - 9700 A:

Expected arc lines:
