Each image is a ``true color'' composite of three monochromatic images, in which the red, green, and blue intensities each correspond to the intensity of one of the original images. ... In this case, the three basic colors are assigned as follows: . color filter name wavelength width component revealed RED Hydrogen Alpha 6575 14 ionized gas GREEN Oxygen [III] 5013 14 strongly ionized gas BLUE Broadband Blue 4324 1156 dust and starlight . ...

Laboratory work N7 Low-pass filtering. 1) Generate the signal with two periodic components and high-frequency noise. ... 2) Perform it's filtering with Panteleev filter 0 - h(t) = e 22 0 |t| 2 0 t 0 |t| cos + sin 2 2 , where 0 is a parameter. The frequency response of the Panteleev filter is ^ h( ) = 4 0 . 4 0 + 4 Select the cut-off frequency (by varying 0 ) for filtering out high-frequency periodic component and noise. 3) Plot the initial and filtered signal. ...

Fabry-Perot data cubes. Introduction: what is "data cubes"? Observations with the IFP consist of successive acquisition of a few dozen images of interference rings from the object (or from a calibration lamp) when changing the optical path between the flat-parallel plates. The radius of the rings is a function of wavelength and gap between the plates of the interferometer. ... Its interference rings of Ne line which use for phase calibration (convert object data to wavelength-scale). ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

Classroom Activity: Making a Rainbow . ... When white light from the Sun or a light bulb passes through a prism, the light splits into its component wavelengths. ... Red, blue, green colored filters - if possible, cut 1x4-inch pieces of the filters for each student . ... Many students have the misconception that filters somehow dye the light a certain color. ... Younger students can draw the rainbow and make up a mnemonic for remembering the order of the colors (such as, ROY G. BIV). ...

A computer controlled low light photometer for nightglow observations. Hardware units of portable photometer for low light measurements, especially night glow emission is described. ... Interface card contain three channels of 24 bit counter, 4 channels of 12 bit ADC and the buffer bus for the controlled motors of the altazimuthal fork mounting and filters wheel, the position encoders. ... Where N( ) is output signal photometer generated input light flux F( l ) . ... PMT # . 599 . ...

... The versatile and efficient INVERTOSCOPE? combines the highest optical performance with unsurpassed mechanical quality, and is backed by LOMO's unique lifetime warranty, the most comprehensive in the industry. ... A 15X focusing eyepiece with two interchangeable reticles (a 10mm/100div scale and a 10mm x 10mm/400sq grid) for convenient measuring and counting. ... A set of stage inserts and extension plates to accommodate a variety of sample vessels such as Petri dishes, flasks, microtest plates, etc...
