Description
The importance of forbidden line radiation is considered, taking into account lines in the visible and the infrared range. The result of a theoretical study conducted by Petrosian (1970) is shown in a graph which indicates the intensities of the IR lines predicted for M42. The predicted values were found later to be one order of magnitude too high. A description is given of a spectrometer which was designed for extraterrestrial observations. The spectrometer was used together with a 91-cm telescope which is installed in a NASA Convair 141 aircraft. Several observational flights were conducted in November and December of 1975. The results of the studies are discussed, taking into account the detection of the forbidden line at 18.7 micrometers in M42.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
