Exploring the trade-space of distributed aperture telescopes for faint-object spectroscopy
Theodore A. Grosson, Deborah M. Lokhorst, Alan W. McConnachie
Scientific programs targeting the faintest objects push modern telescopes to increasingly large sizes, high costs and complex designs. Obtaining spectra of low surface brightness g…

Bright Region Reset: an on-detector strategy for minimizing the impacts of atmospheric emission lines on spectral observations
Theodore A. Grosson, Edward L. Chapin, Tim Hardy +4
Observations in the near-infrared using large ground-based telescopes are adversely impacted by bright atmospheric emission lines, particularly the OH Meinel bands. These lines can…
