... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

Magnetic Stars, 2011, pp. ... It follows, in particular, from Fig. 1a, where points show the central intensity of line in 2008 ­ 2009, and asterisks -- the ELODIE Archive (EA) spectra in 2002 ­ 2003 smoothed to the resolution of the MSS. ... Figure 2a demonstrates the distribution of temperature in the atmosphere in the phase = 0.07 and Fig. 2b -- in the phase = 0.53 of the rotation period, obtained from the hydrogen line profiles in 2008 ­ 2009. ...
