Correction for the STIS echelle blaze functionUsing the Early Release Observation of 9 Comae, we demonstrate an iterative method for correcting Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) echelle spectra for the effects of the echelle ripple. This analytic approach allows the actual spectrum of interest to be used in the determination of its calibration. The late F star 9 Comae is not an ideal candidate for this method, due to the many absorption lines present in its E230M spectrum, yet, given this difficulty, the method still works quite well.
