Focal Plane Instruments for Spectrometry
There are two options in spectrometrical observations. Depending on the purpose 50 micron or 105 micron fiber cables can be used.
- Whoppshel Spectrograph (Shelyak Instruments)
- 4000 – 7600 Angstrom wavelength range
- Fiber Injection and Guiding Unit (FIGU)
- Halogen, LED ve Thorium-Argon lamp calibration unit
For 50 micron fiber cable and its FIGU;
- Limiting magnitude V < ~9.0
- Resolution R ~ 30000
For 105 micron fiber cable and its FIGU;
- Limiting magnitude V < ~10.0
- Resolution R ~ 15000
