ETC Request ID: STIS.im.1035937

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 100.000

gives: Time = 0.0448 seconds

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 1.21 seconds

gives: Optimum SNR = 125.1499

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Result of the calculation 0.0223766 is less than the minimum exposure time for this detector (0.1)

WARNING MESSAGE: This observation has a significant filter leak where 9.48 percent of the signal comes from outside the prescribed filter bandpass limits.

WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.0004) is less than the recommended threshold of 20 electrons to avoid poor charge transfer efficiency (CTE). We suggest you consider CTE mitigation strategies described in the STIS Instrument Handbook."
