Scientific paper

The optimum extraction height (h) for STIS echelle spectra of 7 pixels maximizes the signal- to-noise for all modes and encompasses more than 98% of the target flux. Reducing h from 11 to 7 pixels reduces the error in the background correction by 40% at Lyman-a. This 7 pixel extraction height perpendicular to the dispersion should be the default for echelle extractions in the pipeline.
