The monitoring of the optics quality of DIMM instrument V. Kornilov, B. Safonov May 24, 2010 1 Intro duction A quantitative theory of measurement of optical turbulence (OT) with Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) is based on certain priori assumptions [1]. ... Bottom: behavior of the instrumental Strehl's number for the left (triangle to the left) and right (triangle to the right) DIMM images during the period of measurement the maintenance of an additional correction factor seems superfluous. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
