Far-uv Sensitivity of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
We demonstrate that the G140L segment B channel of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) recently installed on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has an effective area consistent with ∼ 10 cm in the bandpass between the Lyman edge at 912 Å and Lyman β, rising to a peak in excess of 1000 cm longward of 1130 Å. This is a new wavelength regime for HST and will allow opportunities for unique science ...
متن کاملFar-ultraviolet Performance of the Berkeley Spectrograph during the Orfeus-spas Ii Mission
The Berkeley spectrograph aboard the ORFEUS telescope made its second flight on the 14 day ORFEUSSPAS II mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1996 November/December. Approximately half of the available observing time was dedicated to the Berkeley spectrograph, which was used by both principal and guest investigators. The spectrograph’s full bandpass is 390–1218 Å; here we discuss its in-fli...
متن کاملLOTUS: a low-cost, ultraviolet spectrograph
We describe the design, construction and commissioning of a simple, low-cost long-slit spectrograph for the Liverpool Telescope. The design is optimized for near-UV and visible wavelengths and uses all transmitting optics. It exploits the instrument focal plane field curvature to partially correct axial chromatic aberration. A stepped slit provides narrow (2.5 × 95 arcsec) and wide (5× 25 arcse...
متن کاملA Far - Ultraviolet Survey of 47 Tucanae . I . Imaging
We present results from the imaging portion of a far-ultraviolet (FUV) survey of the core of 47 Tucanae. We have detected 767 FUV sources, 527 of which have optical counterparts in archival HST/WFPC2 images of the same field. Most of our FUV sources are main-sequence (MS) turn-off stars near the detection limit of our survey. However, the FUV/optical color-magnitude diagram (CMD) also reveals 1...
متن کاملImaging performance of telescope mirrors for far-ultraviolet astronomy.
We describe image testing, surface metrology, and modeling of telescope mirrors (0.5 m in diameter, f/4.3) for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. Laboratory image testing of wavelengths in the visible, vacuum, and midultraviolet validated a theoretical analysis by use of the Optical Surface Analysis Code (OSAC). Our modeling is based on surface metrology, including mea...
