Spectrographical observations are taken out with the DADOS or the BACHES spectrograph, both manufactured by Baader Planetarium.

The DADOS spectrograph

Our DADOS spectrograph

For the DADOS spectrograph we have a 200 lines/mm and 900nm/mm grating. Currently the 900 lines/mm grating is mounted and used for most of the observations. The basic data are partly taken from the Baader website.

Grating Dispersion at 550nm Spectral resolution $\frac{\lambda}{\Delta\lambda}$ at 550nm Spectral range in nm
Line/mm nm/mm nm/3.76µm Pixel 25µm 35µm 50µm QHY 268M
200 47.61 0.179 543 388 272 ~9300
900 12.67 0.048 3818 2727 1909 ~4400

Representative spectra that where taken with our DADOS spectrograph can be found here.

A User's Guide, next to other helpful documents, can be found here.

For the calibration we have a calibration module from Shelyak, for the operation of which we of course also have an article :-)

The BACHES echelle spectrograph

Our new BACHES spectrograph

The new echelle spectrograph from Baader Panetarium, which has been developed by the Max-Planck-Institut for extraterrestrial physics, has the following properties:

  • Resolution: $R = \frac{\lambda}{\Delta \lambda} = 14,000-20,000$
  • Wavelength range: $\lambda$ = 400-700 nm (without gaps)
  • maximum efficiency: 31%

The Baader Product Page provides helpfull documents like the manual or the calibration instructions.
