... HST . ... HST Overview . ... Retrieving HST Data . ... The shape of the spectrum and its overall level are closely tied, which is why both sensitivity and vignetting were discussed in the previous section. ... Thermal drifts caused a spectrum to move on the photocathode, so the GHRS routinely performed a SPYBAL (spectrum Y-balance) to properly center the spectrum on the diode array. ... In some cases the shape of a spectrum can be distorted if the background is improperly calculated and subtracted. ...

Rectangular Format Cameras Princeton Instruments rectangular format cameras are ideal for many specialized imaging applications, including full color imaging, one dimensional imaging, or any application requiring high resolution along only one dimension. ... Multispectral and Color Imaging To capture images at multiple wavelengths simultaneously, one can either use multiple cameras, a single camera with multiple CCD arrays, or a single camera with a rectangular array. ...

Проект существует с июля 2002 года. Цель проекта - дать краткий обзор наиболее интересных статей, появившихся в библиотеке электронных препринтов astro-ph . Также в обзоры будут включаться статьи, появившиеся в списке astro-ph из других разделов. ... Параллельно в 2002-2003 гг. создавался списки обзорных статей, в которых подробно освещаются те или иные часто обсуждаемые вопросы (например, статья А. Линде hep-th/0107176 является одной из лучших обзорных статей по инфляции). ...

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. ...
