FIMS-SPEAR Data Now Available in MAST (2023 Apr 17)

See the FIMS-SPEAR data page in MAST

Data product available at MAST include all-sky hyperspectral imaging, adaptively-binned emission line maps, bright star spectra, and high-resolution emission line images of the Vela supernova remnant. The link includes the mission manual, data access, and a Python Notebook tutorial.


What is FIMS (SPEAR)?


FIMS (SPEAR) is a dual-channel far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph (“Short” wavelength channel 900-1150Å, “Long” wavelength channel 1350-1750Å, λ/Δλ ~ 550) with a large field of view (S-band, 4°×4´.6; L-band, 7°.4×4´.3), designed to observe diffuse FUV emission lines. FIMS is the primary payload on the first Korean science and technology satellite, STSAT-1, and was launched into ~ 700 km Sun-synchronous orbit on 2003 September 27.
