Detector sampling of optical/IR spectra: how many pixels per FWHM?

J. Gordon Robertson

Most optical and IR spectra are now acquired using detectors with finite-width pixels in a square array. This paper examines the effects of such pixellation, using computed simulat…

Quantifying resolving power in astronomical spectra

J. Gordon Robertson

The spectral resolving power R = lambda / delta lambda is a key property of any spectrograph, but its definition is vague because the `smallest resolvable wavelength difference' de…
