ESPaDOnS: examples of spectra http://webast.ast.obs-mip.fr/magnetisme/espadons_new/spectra.html<br />

The second example features two close-up views of selected line profiles:<br />

the first graph shows a spectrum portion very well known to solar physicists working on solar magnetism, including<br />

2 close-by FeI lines with different magnetic sensitivities. ESPaDOnS observations (full line) are found to match perfectly<br />

with the reference Kitt Peak solar spectrum (dotted line) once the latter is broadened to a spectral resolution of 69,000<br />

(dashed line). Only the two time variable telluric lines (@ 630.20 and 630.28nm) show (as expected) a significant<br />

difference with respect to the Kitt Peak spectrum;<br />

the second graph shows a spectrum region in the near infrared (@ 760nm) heavily crowded with strong telluric<br />

bands having null core relative intensities; one can notice from this data that diffused light within the spectrograph is<br />

small and well corrected out by the reduction routines.<br />

Solar spectrum @ 630.2 nm Solar spectrum @ 763.5 nm<br />

Other such examples will be added soon on this page.<br />
