ETC Request ID: STIS.sp.835732
Exposure time (seconds) = 0.1000 at wavelength 4100.00 Å
gives: SNR = 69.6166 (per resolution element)
gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 2.72 seconds
Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.
WARNING MESSAGE: Result of the calculation 0.05 is less than the minimum exposure time for this detector (0.1)
WARNING MESSAGE: "Electrons per pixel due to background (0.00095) 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."
