The MagE Spectrograph

Understand

The Magellan Echellette (MagE) spectrograph is a single-object optical echellette spectrograph for the Magellan Clay telescope.

• MagE has been designed to have high throughput in the blue; the peak throughput is 22% at 5600 A including the telescope.
• The wavelength coverage includes the entire optical window (3100 A - 1 micron).
• The spectral resolution for a 1" slit is R~4100.
