Comparison of AWGs and Echelle Gratings for Wavelength Division Multiplexing on Silicon-on-Insulator
We compare the performance (insertion loss and crosstalk) of silicon-based arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) and echelle gratings for different channel spacings.

Optimal extraction of echelle spectra: Getting the most out of observations [PDF]
Context. The price of instruments and observing time on modern telescopes is quickly increasing. Therefore, it is worth revisiting the data reduction algorithms to extract every bit of scientific information from available observations.

Modeling the Echelle Spectra Continuum with Alpha Shapes and Local Regression Fitting [PDF]
Continuum normalization of echelle spectra is an important data analysis step that is difficult to automate. Polynomial fitting requires a reasonably high-order model to follow the steep slope of the blaze function.

New wavelength calibration for echelle spectrographs using Fabry-Pérot etalons [PDF]
Context. The study of Earth-mass extrasolar planets via the radial-velocity technique and the measurement of the potential cosmological variability of fundamental constants call for very-high-precision spectroscopy at the level of δλ/λ < 10−9.

CERES: A Set of Automated Routines for Echelle Spectra [PDF]
We present the Collection of Elemental Routines for Echelle Spectra (CERES). These routines were developed for the construction of automated pipelines for the reduction, extraction, and analysis of spectra acquired with different instruments, allowing ...

Spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the early-type spectroscopic binary HD 161853 in the centre of an H II region [PDF]
We study the O-type star HD 161853, which has been noted as a probable double-lined spectroscopic binary system. We secured high-resolution spectra of HD 161853 during the past nine years.

Absolute dimensions of eclipsing binaries. XXIV, The Be star system DW Carinae, a member of the open cluster Collinder 228 [PDF]
Context. The study of detached eclipsing binaries which are members of stellar clusters is is a powerful way of determining the properties of the cluster and of constraining the physical ingredients of theoretical stellar evolutionary models.

Modelling long-range wavelength distortions in quasar absorption echelle spectra [PDF]
Spectra observed with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) on the European Southern Observatory's VLT exhibit long-range wavelength distortions.
