The hot carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen echelle spectrograph Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The hot carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen echelle spectrograph (HotCONes) sounding rocket payload allows a unique probe of the local interstellar medium through R=λ/δλ≳200 000 spectroscopy of C+3, N+4, and O+5. It is a practical proof of the low-order echelle spectrograph design, which may prove extremely useful in conjunction with emerging technology. We present the scientific motivation, instrument design, and measured performance.
