The Ohio State Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (IFPS)

The Ohio State University Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (IFPS) is designed for two-dimensional imaging spectrophotometric and kinematic studies in the wavelength range of 3400-10000 Å. Presently it uses four étalons providing low and medium spectral resolutions (λ/0λ) of 1200 in the 4500-7500 Å w...

Description
Summary:The Ohio State University Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (IFPS) is designed for two-dimensional imaging spectrophotometric and kinematic studies in the wavelength range of 3400-10000 Å. Presently it uses four étalons providing low and medium spectral resolutions (λ/0λ) of 1200 in the 4500-7500 Å wavelength range, and λ/0λ = 4500 in three bands covering the 3400-4000 Å, 4100-5500 Å, and 6000-7000 Å wavelength regions. These resolutions make it applicable to a wide range of galactic and extragalactic imaging spectrophotometry problems. The IFPS has also found use as direct imaging focal camera (without the étalons). The instrument development and basic design philosophies are described, and some scientific results from the Fabry-Perot mode of the instrument are presented.
