... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

... Since the reddening found for the stars in Table 13 was small, no reddening correction was attempted. ... These diamonds indicate the positions of very low mass, 3 Myr old, objects from the work of Burrows et al. ... This optical V versus R - I scheme is a very powerful method of detecting very low mass (VLM) objects. ... Because of this, young brown dwarfs are intrinsically no more difficult to observe in the optical than low mass stars at the age of Orionis. ...

... The 209 candidates were selected from our first and second priority samples introduced in Paper IV. Of 169 first priority candidates, 141 objects appeared in our list as new ones. 28 objects were listed in the NED as galaxies or objects from various catalogs with known redshifts and some of them already had information on emission lines in earlier publications. ... The ``random selected sample'' was created to access the fraction of BCGs in the second priority list and contains 43 objects. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

... This is not important for drift observations but poses a problem for any observing mode in which the telescope is moving while taking data, since the ALFA beams then will be rotating on the sky. ... The new mode is called ' sky angle tracking ' and is available for all existing observing modes. ... The next figure shows the distance between the beams in declination as a function of hour angle when the telescope is tracking a source with Dec=+10 from rise to set with a sky angle of 19 degrees. ...
