AFOE image AFOE
The Advanced Fiber Optical Echelle is a fiber-fed, bench-mounted echelle spectrograph designed to measure precise stellar radial velocities. Currently installed at the Mt. Wilson 100" telescope, the AFOE is used for exoplanet detection, asteroseismology, and studies of stellar pulsation.
UVCS Corona SOHO/UVCS
The Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory makes measurements of the solar corona between 2 and 10 solar radii from the center of the Sun with high spectral and spatial resolution. Data from UVCS are used to improve our understanding of the solar corona and the solar wind.
