Far-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 کاملThe Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy
I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughput for moderate-resolution spectroscopy, COS will enable a range of scientific programs that study hot stars, AGN, and gas in the interstellar medium, intergalactic medium, and galactic halos. We also plan a large-scal...
متن کاملSpace telescope Imaging Spectrograph
We acquired spectra of 24 LMC PNe in the 1150–3000 Å range in order to determine carbon and other ionic abundances. The sample more than doubles the number of LMC PNe with good quality UV spectra in this wavelength range, and whose optical images are available in the HST archive. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph was used with a very large aperture to obtain virtually slit-less spectra, ...
متن کاملFar-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 ...
