... The problem with low S is that there is "spectral confusion". The image still has a visible peak, but the spectrum has contributions from a region that is over the size of the seeing disk. This can completely ruin any line measurement where a local strength or velocity is required. The function of S ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
