Scientific paper

Preliminary performance goals for the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), selected by NASA for definition study as a second generation instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are outlined. The STIS is a 2-dimensional spectrograph that will operate from 1050A-11000A at the limiting HST spatial resolution of 0.05 arcsec FWHM, with spectral resolutions of 100, 1200, 20,000, and 100,000 and a maximum field-of-view of 50X50 arcsec. Its basic operating modes include echelle mode (like IUE), long slit mode (for simultaneous spectra at 1000 positions on the target), slitless spectrograph mode, coronographic spectroscopy, photon time-tagging, and direct imaging.
