The basic characteristics of the instrument are set by the aperture, focal length and resolution of the image forming lens, the dispersion of the spectrometer, and the sensitivity of the detector. ... The lens is internally focused, and maintains acceptable focus (2 pixels in the detector plane) over a typical spectral coverage of one grating setting. ... along the spatial dimension of a 25mm square detector in the final spectral image plane the 400mm lens is 3.2њ. ...

... The Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) is a 110-meter baseline K-Band infrared interferometer located at Palomar Mountain, California. In 1999 an effort was started to provide more observer-friendly observation planning and monitoring tools, such as might be used in NASA interferometer missions. This session illustrates how these prototype tools aid in the observation of spectroscopic binary stars. ... In 1999 an effort was undertaken to prototype mission operations support tools at PTI. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

... The three optical trains for the cameras, and the pupil reimaging system, are mounted on a wheel, accurately driven by an external motor. ... The low-resolution spectroscopic mode uses the wide field camera and a suitable set of grisms and order sorting filters that are inserted in the parallel beam after the pupil. ... One of the five grisms can operate at four different orders, depending on the filter selected on the first filter wheel that acts as order sorter. ...

... Archives . ... If getting the first derivative (score function) and the second derivative (empirical Fisher information) of a (pseudo) likelihood function is feasible and checking regularity conditions is viable, a test for global maximum (Li and Jiang, JASA, 1999, Vol. 94, pp. 847-854) seems to be a useful reference for verifying the best fit solution. I didn?t see any ways to confirm that best fit results from XSPEC or Sherpa are a global maximum without searching whole parameter space. ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...
