Spectroscopy on Small Telescopes: the Echelle Spectrograph
In recent years there has been a trend toward the automation of modest sized observatories, especially those involved with photoelectric photometry. Although undoubtedly useful, there is clearly a need for more advanced instrumentation such as spectrographs. The relatively small telescope sizes places severe limits on the choice of spectrograph configuration. A fiber-fed echelle spectrograph is...
متن کاملAn echelle spectrometer-spectrograph for astronomical use.
A compact echelle spectrometer-spectrograph has been designed for use at the Cassegrain focus of the University of Wisconsin 91-cm telescope at Pine Bluff. Laboratory results obtained with this instrument show that it has great potential for both stellar and nebular studies. Typical photographs and photoelectric scans of laboratory spectra are shown. A method of determining the profile of the e...
متن کاملExtracting Radial Velocities of A- and B-type Stars from Echelle Spectrograph Calibration Spectra
We present a technique to extract radial velocity (RV) measurements from echelle spectrograph observations of rapidly rotating stars ( V i sin 50 km s). This type of measurement is difficult because the line widths of such stars are often comparable to the width of a single echelle order. To compensate for the scarcity of lines and Doppler information content, we have developed a process that...
متن کاملResults of Ray-Tracing the Wavelength Calibration of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph
We describe the results of Code-V ray-tracing of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to improve the wavelength calibration. For the IRS Short-hi and Long-hi modules, the RMS in Δλ (observed calculated) for measured lines has been significantly improved from the purely empirical solution, to 0.125 pixels and 0.091 pixels, respectively. For the Short-lo and Long-lo modules, the RMS is reduced...
متن کاملAdaptive optics echelle spectrograph for radial velocity studies
Radial velocity studies represent the most successful method to date for the detection of extrasolar planets. Although radial velocity (vr ) measurement precision of 3 m s –1 is routinely achieved in some programs, it is important to understand and minimize sources of experimental error. Furthermore, velocity variations resulting from astrophysical processes contribute to velocity errors, and m...
