Carnegie Supernova Project-II: The Near-infrared Spectroscopy Program
, 2018 Shifting the focus of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology to the near-infrared (NIR) is a promising way to significantly reduce the systematic errors, as the strategy minimizes our reliance on the empirical width-luminosity relation and uncertain dust ...

HERMES at Mercator, competitive high-resolution spectroscopy with a small telescope [PDF]
, 2013 HERMES, a fibre-fed high-resolution (R=85000) echelle spectrograph with good stability and excellent throughput, is the work-horse instrument of the 1.2-m Mercator telescope on La Palma. HERMES targets building up time series of high-quality data of variable stellar phenomena, mainly for asteroseismology and binary-evolution research.

Comb-calibrated solar spectroscopy through a multiplexed single-mode fiber channel [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate a new scheme for astronomical spectrograph calibration using the laser frequency comb at the Solar Vacuum Tower Telescope on Tenerife. Our concept is based upon a single-mode fiber channel, that simultaneously feeds the spectrograph with ...

3D Spectroscopy and the Virtual Observatory [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Integral field, or 3D, spectroscopy is the technique of obtaining spectral information over a two-dimensional, hopefully contiguous, field of view. While there is some form of astronomical 3D spectroscopy at all wavelengths, there has been a rapid increase in interest in optical and near-infrared 3D spectroscopy.

Common Methods of Stellar Spectra Analysis and their Support in Virtual Observatory [PDF]
Proceedings of EURO-VO Workshop Astronomical Spectroscopy and
Virtual Observatory, ESAC, 21-23 March 2007, Villafranca del Castillo, 97-104, 2011 The proper scientific analysis of a large amount of stellar spectra requires certain capabilities of the analysing tool (e.g. precise semi-automatic fitting for normalisation of the continuum or line-list assisted measurement of spectral lines) as well as flexible list-driven datafile handling.

Proc. SPIE 13095, Optical and Infrared Interferometry and Imaging
IX, 130950R (28 August 2024)Over the past two decades, photonics have been developed as technological solutions for astronomical instrumentation for, e.g., near-infrared spectroscopy and long baseline interferometry. With increasing instrument capabilities, large quantities of high precision optical components are required to guide, manipulate, and analyze the light from ...
