Notes. Some of the instruments may cover other wavelength ranges or be used with different configurations, but what we chose is a good representation for the purpose of the present work. All the information about the instrument/configuration/wavelengths have been retrieved on ASPRO2, except for VISION (Garcia, priv. comm.).
