Next: Radial velocity of the Up: Optical spectrum of IRAS04296 Previous: Observations and spectra reduction . ... However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

The figure below shows what stellar spectra are like in this wavelength range. All stars hotter than about 3000 K effective temperature radiate like a hot blackbody at these long wavelengths, possibly with a very few atomic lines (of Hydrogen, in the A-type stars) or molecular bands (the CO band overtone near 2.25 microns for example, in K-type stars and G-type stars). ... unusual features: mixed chemistry sources, Wolf-Rayet stars, ice bands, featureless carbon-star spectra ...

... While Sfit accepts input from "stdio", it is more natural to save/edit commands in a file (eg "solve_input.sfit") and run the code simply by entering > Sfit solve_input.sfit [linelist] . ... The model grid (3.4MB) produced by Example 1 and a selection of input spectra ( f008 f036 f068 f304 f354 ), together with SFIT output files are also given in this folder . ... The model grid (2.8MB) produced by Example 3 and an input spectrum together with SFIT output files are also given in this folder . ...

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...

... 2003 July 10 . Dust Storm Over Northern Mars . Credit: Malin Space Science Systems , MGS , JPL , NASA . Explanation: Almost on cue , as Mars nears its closest approach to planet Earth in recorded history, ominous seasonal dust storms are beginning to kick up. Observers worry that the activity may presage the development of a planet wide dust storm , frustrating attempts to view Mars in the coming months, a situation similar to the Red Planet's uncooperative behavior in 2001. ...

... A concrete application is displayed step by step by the command: TUTORIAL/CLOUD . The data used for this example are CaII absorption features observed in the spectrum of SN 1986g in NGC 5128 (observer: S. d'Odorico, instrument: CASPEC). ... Sampling is 0.05? per pixel and the measured instrumental resolution, 17km/s. The final cloud model consists of 12 absorption doublets. The corresponding image includes both components K and H and has been convolved by a gaussian PSF of 0.22? (17km/s) FWHM. ...

... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...
