High Resolution Spectra of M and C Stars by Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Highlights of Astronomy

Abstract

A Michelson interferometer was put into operation during the year 1972 at the Coudé focus of the Haute-Provence Observatory’s 76-in. telescope. We built this instrument at Aimé Cotton Laboratory (Orsay-France) where the method of Fourier Transform Spectroscopy has been largely developed in the direction of very high resolution work. A complete description of this device has been given elsewhere (Guelachvili and Maillard, 1970) and further details on the present study are reported by Maillard (1973). We will only describe the main characteristic elements of the interferometer (Figure 1).
