Descripción
The design, spectral coverage and sensitivity of Isophot-S, one of the
four sub-experiments of Isophot, are described. Isophot-S is a low
resolution near infrared spectrometer, designed to take full advantage
of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) telescope with its low infrared
background, wide field of view, and the complete absence of atmospheric
attenuation. It consists of two grating spectrometers which cover the
wavelength ranges 2.5 to 5 microns and 6 to 12 microns at resolutions of
0.04 microns and 0.09 microns respectively. The scientific capabilities
of the equipment are underlined.
