Definition of the water absorption bands in the presence of telluric absorption.

Band name Wavelength range (A) Instrument simulated Adopted resolving power Resolution element
6400–6800 HARPS(-N) 115 000 0.01 Å
7000–7400 ESPRESSO 134 000 0.01 Å
Y band 9800–11 100 GIANO 50 000 λ∕50 000
J band 11 600–13 100 GIANO 50 000 λ∕50 000
H band 15 000–17 400 GIANO 50 000 λ∕50 000

Notes.When we consider telluric contamination, the strongest NIR bands are not observable from the ground. We thus replace those by the Earth transparency windows. We indicate the reference instrument for which we simulated a CCF for our analysis. In the last two columns, we indicate the resolving power and the resolution element of our simulated observations of each band. The simulated instruments are HARPS for the band; ESPRESSO for the band; GIANO for the NIR bands.
