Observing with the ISO Short-Wavelength Spectrometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) is one of the four instruments on-board ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), launched on November 17, 1995. The spectrometer covers the wavelength range of 2.38 to 45.2 m with a spectral resolution ranging from 1000 to 2000. By inserting Fabry-Perot filters the resolution can be enhanced by a factor 20 for the wavelength range from 11.4 to 44.5 m. An overview is given of the instrument, its in-orbit calibration, performance, observing modes and off-line processing software.

متن کاملNew rest wavelength determinations for 7 mid - infrared fine structure lines by ISO - SWS
Observations of the planetary nebulae NGC 6302, NGC 6543 and NGC 7027 by the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) have been used to determine rest wavelengths of spectral lines. We report on improved accuracies for wavelengths of 7 mid-infrared ionic fine structure lines.
متن کاملThe ISO Long-Wavelength Spectrometer
The Long-Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) is one of two complementary spectrometers aboard the European Space Agency’s Infrared Space Observatory1 (ISO) (Kessler et al., 1996). It operates over the wavelength range 43 196:9 m at either medium (about 150 to 200) or high (6800 to 9700) spectral resolving power. This Letter describes the instrument and its modes of operation; a companion paper (Swiny...
متن کاملThe 3 μ m spectrum of R Doradus observed with the ISO - SWS ⋆
We have modeled the 2.6–3.7 µm spectrum of the red semiregular variable R Doradus observed with the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The wavelength resolution of the observations varies between R ∼ 2000–2500. We have calculated a synthetic spectrum using a hydrostatic model photosphere in spherical geometry. The agreement between the synthetic spectrum and ...
متن کاملRetrieval algorithm for CO2 and CH4 column abundances from short-wavelength infrared spectral observations by the Greenhouse gases observing satellite
The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) was launched on 23 January 2009 to monitor the global distributions of carbon dioxide and methane from space. It has operated continuously since then. Here, we describe a retrieval algorithm for column abundances of these gases from the short-wavelength infrared spectra obtained by the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observation-Fouri...
