A Photometricity and Extinction Monitor at the Apache Point Observatory
An unsupervised software “robot” that automatically and robustly reduces and analyzes CCD observations of photometric standard stars is described. The robot measures extinction coefficients and other photometric parameters in real time and, more carefully, on the next day. It also reduces and analyzes data from an all-sky 10 μm camera to detect clouds; photometric data taken during cloudy perio...
متن کاملThe Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (apollo)
Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) is the only means available for testing Einstein’s Strong Equivalence Principle, on which general relativity rests. LLR also provides the strongest limits to date on variability of the gravitational constant, the best measurement of the de Sitter precession rate, and is relied upon to generate accurate astronomical ephemerides. LLR is poised to take a dramatic step for...
متن کاملInfrared water vapor continuum absorption at atmospheric temperatures.
We have used a continuous-wave carbon dioxide laser in a single-mode realization of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to measure absorption coefficients of water vapor at 944 cm(-1) for several temperatures in the range 270-315 K. The conventional description of water vapor infrared absorption is applied, in which the absorption is modeled in two parts consisting of local line absorption and the re...
متن کاملMeasurement of Absorption Characteristics of Water Vapor Near Saturation
It has been suggested that the significant differences that still persist between the measurements of earth’s radiation budget and the predictions are partially due to the inadequacies in the absorption coefficients of water vapor used in the calculations. Water in all its three phases has a profound influence on both the longwave and shortwave streams of radiation, because of its strong absorp...
متن کاملAbsorption measurements of carbon monoxide laser radiation by water vapor.
An intracavity water vapor cell in conjunction with a CO laser was used to measure experimentally the absorptive losses introduced for nineteen of the laser emission lines. The results indicated that the existing theoretical models are inadequate for predicting actual absorptance values for water vapor partial pressures in excess of 100 Torr. The accepted spectral location of at least one water...
