Wavelength-dependent behavior of the HPF Fabry-Pérot
The need for a good ruler HPF is a high-precision spectrograph; it is designed to make very precise measurements of the wavelengths of stellar spectral features, so that the subtle Doppler shifts related to any orbiting exoplanets can be detected. … Continue reading
