Because we are using the SL module, it is important to consider the possibility of serendipitous placement of bright targets into the IRS peak-up array field-of-view during the spectrum exposures. As described in §6.9.3 in the IRS Staring Mode chapter of this Cookbook, this can result in underestimating the droop correction for the SL array, which, in turn, causes the flux of the SL spectrum to be overestimated. Refer to §6.9.3 for details about how to mitigate this effect.
