... 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 . ...

Jeff mock supplied 6 different types of filters to use with the high resolution mode of the mock spectrometer. ... Plots were made of the time domain voltage response as well as the frequency domain power response. A decimation of 10 was used for the filter decimation. this gave a filter length of 80 coeff. The plots compare the filter shapes for these filter types (.ps) ( .pdf ) . ... Each color is a different filter type . middle: spectral density reponse for each filter . ...

Magnetic (red squares) and non-magnetic (black points) Herbig Ae/Be stars plotted in a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. ... Using the projected rotational velocities measured at the surface of the stars, we have calculated the angular momentum of the sample and plotted it as a function of age. We have then compared the angular momentum and the v sin i distributions of the magnetic to the non-magnetic HAeBe stars. ...
