+The ARC Echelle Spectroscopic (ARCES) Exposure Time Calculator, or ``arcesetc``,
+is a simple exposure time calculator for the ARCES instrument on the
+Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC) 3.5 m Telescope at Apache Point
+Observatory for stellar spectroscopy. Users can supply ``arcesetc`` functions
+with the spectral type of their target star, the V band magnitude, and either:
+the desired exposure time in order to determine the counts and signal-to-noise
+ratio as a function of wavelength; or the desired signal-to-noise ratio at a
+given wavelength to determine the required exposure time.
+
+We estimate the count rates for stars as a function of wavelength by fitting
+15th-order polynomials to each spectral order of real observations of a star of
+each spectral type. These polynomial coefficients and some wavelength metadata
+are stored in an HDF5 archive for compactness and easy of reconstruction. Then
+upon calling ``arcesetc``, the archive is opened and the spectral order closest
+to the wavelength of interest is reconstructed from the polynomial
+coefficients, for a star of the closest available spectral type to the one
+requested.
