A unique method to design a high-throughput and high-resolution ultrathin Czerny–Turner (UTCT) spectrometer is proposed. This paper reveals an infrequent design process of spectrometers based on Coddington’s equations, which will lead us to develop a high-performance spectrometer from scratch. The spectrometer is composed of cylindrical elements except a planar grating. In the simulation design, spot radius is sub-pixel size, which means that almost all of the energy is collected by the detector. The spectral resolution is 0.4 nm at central wavelength and 0.75 nm at edge wavelength when the width of slit is chosen to be 25 μm and the groove density is 900 lines/mm.

AbstractUnlike the single grating Czerny–Turner configuration spectrometers, a super-high spectral resolution optical spectrometer with zero coma aberration is first experimentally demonstrated by using a compound integrated diffraction grating module consisting of 44 high dispersion sub-gratings and a two-dimensional backside-illuminated charge-coupled device array photodetector. The demonstrated super-high resolution spectrometer gives 0.005 nm (5 pm) spectral resolution in ultra-violet range and 0.01 nm spectral resolution in the visible range, as well as a uniform efficiency of diffraction in a broad 200 nm to 1000 nm wavelength region. Our new zero-off-axis spectrometer configuration has the unique merit that enables it to be used for a wide range of spectral sensing and measurement applications.

The paper presents preliminary results of legal and illegal settlement extraction in Pulau Gaya, Sabah using high resolution Quickbird and SPOT- 5 multi-spectral imageries using automated house detection technique. The technique developed is spatial-based using tree counting approach. From the results, edge to edge of the house features was found precisely separated and can be delineated between houses that less than 2m distance. Results show that the technique able to delineate legal houses from Quickbird image more than SPOT-5. Differs results would be due to different spatial and spectral resolution of images.

<p>The recent observations performed with the high-resolution “echelle mode” by the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) aboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission indicated large deuterium brightness near Ls=270°. The deuterium brightness observed at the beginning of the mission, when Mars was close to its perihelion show brightness ~ 1 kR much larger than the first deuterium detection from Earth ~ 20-50R in 20-21 January 1997 (Ls = 67°). This low brightness of the deuterium emission is consistent with the lack of deuterium observation with the echelle mode of IUVS at solar longitudes around aphelion (Ls = 71°). During southern summer (Ls = 270°), especially near the terminator, the Lyman-α emission observed at 121.6 nm with the “low resolution mode” presents some vertical profiles that were not reproducible with models including only the emission from the thermal hydrogen population. In this study, we investigate the possibility to derive quantitative information on the D/H ratio at Mars from the vertical Lyman-α profiles observed with the “low resolution mode”, and the main limits of the method.</p>

The spectrum of CH4 obtained in CH4 plus N2 mixtures at a temperature of 77 K has been recorded with a spectral resolution of 0.14 cm−1 in the region 3800 to 9100 cm−1. The experiments were performed with long paths (66 or 88 m) in a cooled absorption cell using a Fourier-transform spectrometer. Data are presented here at low and medium resolution, and examples of some spectral regions are also shown at high resolution. The complete results are available from the author in an Appendix. Comparisons are made with previous model calculations of CH4 absorption, and with the observed spectrum of Neptune's satellite, Triton. The results should be useful for the interpretation of the spectra of Triton, Titan, and Pluto. They will also be of value for testing model calculations of low-temperature CH4 absorption, which, thus verified, can be used with greater confidence to analyze observations of Jupiter, Saturn Uranus, and Neptune.

AbstractI provide examples of how high-resolution x-ray spectra may be used to determine the temperature and emission measure distributions, electron densities, steady and transient flow velocities, and location of active regions in stellar coronae. For each type of measurement I estimate the minimum spectral resolution required to resolve the most useful spectral features. In general, high sensitivity is required to obtain sufficient signal-to-noise to exploit the high spectral resolution. Although difficult, each measurement should be achievable with the instrumentation proposed for AXAF.

AbstractThe diffraction grating spectra from Chandra and XMM-Newton have given the astronomical community a huge step forward in x-ray spectroscopy of celestial sources. They have proven the scientific richness of the field. But the spectra have resolution of only 300 to 1000 – low by the standards of the visible and the ultraviolet. We discuss some of the exciting new science that can be addressed if spectral resolution of up to 10,000 (or more) can be achieved in the x-ray. We then show how practical, high efficiency, high resolution x-ray spectrographs can be built for high throughput missions like Constellation-X and XEUS.
