... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

... Your main research interests lie in the inter-galactic medium. ... It was not: this indicated either that intergalactic space at high redshifts is completely empty (which was very hard to understand theoretically), or that the gas was extraordinarily hot, and hence too higly ionised to absorb at the wavelengths of Ly . ... This would only show up if the inter-galactic medium was indeed very hot: strong absorption was seen, showing that there is a hot medium out there. ...
