Astronomical photonics in the context of infrared interferometry and high-resolution spectroscopy [PDF]
We review the potential of Astrophotonics, a relatively young field at the interface between photonics and astronomical instrumentation, for spectro-interferometry.

CUBESPEC: low-cost space-based astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]
CubeSats are routinely used for low-cost photometry from space. Space-borne spectroscopy, however, is still the exclusive domain of much larger platforms. Key astrophysical questions in e.g.

Developing arrayed waveguide grating spectrographs for multi-object astronomical spectroscopy. [PDF]
With the aim of utilizing arrayed waveguide gratings for multi-object spectroscopy in the field of astronomy, we outline several ways in which standard telecommunications grade chips should be modified. In particular, by removing the parabolic-horn taper

Astronomical Spectroscopy [PDF]
Spectroscopy is one of the most important tools that an astronomer has for studying the universe. This chapter begins by discussing the basics, including the different types of optical spectrographs, with extension to the ultraviolet and the near-infrared.

A camera for astronomical CCD spectroscopy [PDF]
A 100-mm aperture, visible-UV transmitting f/3.6 camera is described for use with detectors requiring a substantial back-focal distance. This camera has been installed on the Cassegrain spectrograph of the 1.6-m telescope of the Mount Megantic Observatory with a two-dimensional CCD detector. Examples of spectra taken with this system are presented.

A near-infrared frequency comb for Y+J band astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]
Radial velocity (RV) surveys supported by high precision wavelength references (notably ThAr lamps and I2 cells) have successfully identified hundreds of exoplanets; however, as the search for exoplanets moves to cooler, lower mass stars, the optimum ...
