We have obtained high spectral resolution observations of a number of Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in the H2 v=1-0 S(1) line at 2.12μm. Objects observed included HH1/2, HH7-11, HH19, HH32A, HH40, and HH43, all associated with jet-like features or collimated optical outflows. Here we present velocity-resolved 2.12μm spectroscopy for HH40 (an HH-objects moving close to the line of sight) an for HH43B (an HH-object moving close to the plane of the sky). The full set of observations including interpretation is given in Zinnecker et al. (1989). We also present high spatial resolution H2 2.12μm images of HH40 and HH43. The 2.12μm H2 line profiles were obtained with the UKIRT infrared Fabry-Perot system (effective resolution 30-35 km/s) using a diaphragm of diameter 11” for both HH40 and HH43. The H2 images were obtained with the IR-array imager at the CTIO 1.5m telescope through a narrowband filter centred on the v=1-0 S(1) line. The IR-camera used had 58x62 pixels and a resolution of 0.9”/pixel. The exposure time was 2x120sec and 5x60sec for HH40 and HH43, respectively. The images are sky subtracted, but not fiat fielded, and should be viewed as preliminary test images.

The TAURUS Imaging Fabry-Perot System (Taylor & Atherton 1980) has been used with the IPCS at the AAT to observe the ionized gas within NGC 5128 (Cen A) at [NII]λ6548 and Hα. Seven independent (x, y,λ) data cubes were obtained along the dust lane at high spectral resolution (30 km/s FWHM) and at a spatial resolution limited by the seeing (~1″). From these data, maps of the kinematics and intensities of the ionized gas were derived over a 420″ by 300″ region. The maps are the most complete to date for this object comprising 17500 and 5300 fitted spectra in Ha and [NII]λ6548 respectively. The dust lane system is found to be well understood in terms of a differentially rotating disc of gas and dust which is warped both along and perpendicular to the line-of-sight.

A star-stabilized Skylark rocket was launched from Woomera in June 1973 to record ultraviolet spectra of the bright stars y 2 Velorum and £ Puppis. The instrumentation consisted of three Wadsworth-mounted objective grating spectrographs with a combined wavelength range 90-230 nm. Stellar spectra were recorded on Kodak 101-01 photographic film, the in-flight spectral resolution being approximately 30 pm. Two exposures were obtained on each of the target stars. The y 2 Vel spectrum observations extend from 92 to 230 nm and the £ Pup spectrum from 100 to 230 nm. Analysis of the spectra provides information about the composition and properties of the interstellar gas in the line of sight. The observations also provide useful data on the stellar atmospheres. P Cygni line profiles are observed in the spectra of both stars indicating that high velocity material is being ejected.

This paper is an attempt to combine high resolution panchromatic lunar image with low resolution multispectral lunar image to produce a composite image using wavelet approach. There are many sensors that provide us image data about the lunar surface. The spatial resolution and spectral resolution is unique for each sensor, thereby resulting in limitation in extraction of information about the lunar surface. The high resolution panchromatic lunar image has high spatial resolution but low spectral resolution; the low resolution multispectral image has low spatial resolution but high spectral resolution. Extracting features such as craters, crater morphology, rilles and regolith surfaces with a low spatial resolution in multispectral image may not yield satisfactory results. A sensor which has high spatial resolution can provide better information when fused with the high spectral resolution. These fused image results pertain to enhanced crater mapping and mineral mapping in lunar surface. Since fusion using wavelet preserve spectral content needed for mineral mapping, image fusion has been done using wavelet approach.

A recent sounding rocket experiment has provided high spectral resolution line profiles across the solar disk. The objective of this experiment is to provide information on the systematic velocity fields at the base of the corona by observing the displacement, width and shape of EUV emission lines.

Wide Swath and High Resolution Airborne Pushbroom Hyperspectral Imager (WiSHiRaPHI) is the new-generation airborne hyperspectral imager instrument of China, aimed at acquiring accurate spectral curve of target on the ground with both high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution. The spectral sampling interval of WiSHiRaPHI is 2.4 nm and the spectral resolution is 3.5 nm (FWHM), integrating 256 channels coving from 400 nm to 1000 nm. The instrument has a 40-degree field of view (FOV), 0.125 mrad instantaneous field of view (IFOV) and can work in high spectral resolution mode, high spatial resolution mode and high sensitivity mode for different applications, which can adapt to the Velocity to Height Ratio (VHR) lower than 0.04. The integration has been finished, and several airborne flight validation experiments have been conducted. The results showed the system’s excellent performance and high efficiency.
