Subtractive Dispersion Spectrographs of Possible Use in Ultra-violet Stellar Research

Abstract

THE relative intensity of the short wavelengths in stellar spectra can be increased by means of a partial achromatization device consisting of two reflexion gratings. Experiments at this observatory have given promising results, and suggest that devices like this may have applications in space research as well as in conventional astronomy.
