AbstractESA’s X-ray Astronomy Mission, XMM, scheduled for launch in 1998, is the second of four cornerstones of ESA’s long term science program Horizon 2000. Covering the range from about 0.1 to 10 keV, it will provide a high throughput of 5000 cm2 at 7 keV with three independant telescopes, and have a spatial resolution better than 30 arcsec. Broadband spectrophotometry is provided by CCD cameras while reflection gratings provide medium resolution spectroscopy (resolving power of about 400) in the range 0.3–3 keV. Long uninterrupted observations will be made from the 24 hr period, highly eccentric orbit, reaching a sensitivity approaching 10−15 erg cm−2 s−1 in one orbit. A 30 cm UV/optical telescope is bore-sighted with the x-ray telescopes to provide simultaneous optical counterparts to the numerous serendipitous X-ray sources which will be detected during every observation.

Abstract The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) started a median-resolution spectroscopic (MRS, R ∼7500) survey since October 2018. The main scientific goals of MRS, including binary stars, pulsators and other variable stars, were launched with a time-domain spectroscopic survey. However, the systematic errors, including the bias induced from wavelength calibration and the systematic difference between different spectrographs, have to be carefully considered during radial velocity measurement. In this work, we provide a technique to correct the systematics in the wavelength calibration based on the relative radial velocity measurements from LAMOST MRS spectra. We show that, for the stars with multi-epoch spectra, the systematic bias which is induced from the exposures on different nights can be corrected well for LAMOST MRS in each spectrograph. In addition, the precision of radial velocity zero-point of multi-epoch time-domain observations reaches below 0.5 km s−1. As a by-product, we also give the constant star candidates**, which can be the secondary radial-velocity standard star candidates of LAMOST MRS time-domain surveys.

AbstractHERMES is a new, multi-object high resolution spectrometer for the 3.9m Anglo Australian Telescope, using the existing 2dF positioner. The primary goal of the HERMES survey is to unravel the history of the Galaxy from detailed elemental abundances for about 1.2 million individual stars. The HERMES chemical tagging survey concentrates on the 5000 to 8000 Å window at a resolving power of 30,000 in order to identify dissolved star formation aggregates and ascertain the importance of mergers throughout the history of the Galaxy.

ICP-OES is a suitable method for the determination of R.E.E. (rare earth elements),which exhibits advantages in the absence of interferences of evaporation, low detection limits and a great linear range of calibration graphs. A spectrometer having spectral bandwidth (SBW) 30 pm with 50 MHz ICP source were used. Optimum working conditions resulted from detailed studies of axial intensity distributions. Differences in axial intensity distribution were evident when compared with usual 27.12 MHz ICP sources. Matrix interferences of alkaline salts and acids have been evaluated and the optimum spectral lines selected respecting mutual spectral interferences of R.E.E.

Various X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are now commercially available, and these spectrometers are classified into two categories, i.e., energy dispersive and wavelength dispersive (Table 1). Energy dispersive instruments are of low resolution. Wavelength dispersive instruments are often referred to as high resolution. However, commercially available wavelength dispersive instruments are usually equipped with a one-crystal dispersion unit. Therefore, to be more precise, these instruments could be called medium resolution apparatuses. There are other types of spectrometers which are two- or three-crysral spectrometers, and which are known to have very high resolving power. High resolution X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, however, have rarely been constructed. This is because this type of spectrometer needs a very precise and complicated scanning mechanism, and also because the intensity of X-ray fluorescence is often lost.
