Measurement of Spatial Structure in Optically Thick Barium Ion Clouds.

Abstract

A very high spatial and spectral resolution telescopic intensified Fabry-Perot Interferometer System (TIFIS) was designed, constructed, and fielded in support of the DNA STRESS program. The instrument was designed to make spatially resolved and spectrally resolved imaging measurements of upper atmospheric barium ion cloud releases conducted on the DNA STRESS program. The instrument design, operation, and quick-look data examples are presented. (Author)
