Appended to this file are sections describing the intended targets, for inclusion in the archival database. The mask design program culls a specific target list from a larger list of potential targets, and selects coordinates for the field center and a position angle for the mask. There will also be automated target selection options. The input and output target lists will have identical formats so that the program may be run iteratively, either to build up a final target list or to modify an existing target list. All inputs and outputs will be in celestial coordinates.
Output is a target list in the same format as the input list.
The exact list of options for this program may grow with time. Target selection can be extended to include, for example, selecting specific slit lengths based on magnitude, etc. In addition, slit lengths will be extended to use non-assigned regions of the mask, or shortened to avoid overlap. Slit length adjustments will be reported. The output map file will generally be sent to CARA for mask fabrication.
