Comparison of VLT/X-shooter OH and O2 rotational temperatures with consideration of TIMED/SABER emission and temperature profiles

S. Noll, W. Kausch, S. Kimeswenger +2

Rotational temperatures Trot derived from lines of the same OH band are an important method to study the mesopause region near 87 km. To measure realistic temperatures, the rotatio…

Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction II. Quantitative evaluation on ESO-VLT X-Shooter spectra

W. Kausch, S. Noll. A. Smette, S. Kimeswenger +6

Context: Absorption by molecules in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects ground-based astronomical observations. The resulting absorption line strength and shape depend on the h…

Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction. I. Method and application to ESO instruments

A. Smette, H. Sana, S. Noll +10

Context: The interaction of the light from astronomical objects with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere leads to the formation of telluric absorption lines in ground-based…

Skycorr: A general tool for spectroscopic sky subtraction

S. Noll, W. Kausch, S. Kimeswenger +5

Airglow emission lines, which dominate the optical-to-near-IR sky radiation, show strong, line-dependent variability on various time scales. Therefore, the subtraction of the sky b…

An atmospheric radiation model for Cerro Paranal. I. The optical spectral range

S. Noll, W. Kausch, M. Barden +4

The Earth's atmosphere affects ground-based astronomical observations. Scattering, absorption, and radiation processes deteriorate the signal-to-noise ratio of the data received. F…
