Abstract

Here we describe the observation and calibration procedure for a new G140L observing mode for the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This mode, CENWAV = 800, is designed to move the far-UV band fully onto the Segment A detector, allowing for more e cient ob- servation and analysis by simplifying calibration management between the two channels, and reducing the astigmatism in this wavelength region. We also de- scribe some of the areas of scientific interest for which this new mode will be especially suited.
