DEPSCOR92-Wide Field Spectral Imager.
Abstract
The Wide Field Spectral Imager (WISPI) project was designed to provide a new capability for measuring the spectrum of the sky across fields of view much larger than the full moon. The instrument which we proposed would use a high speed optical system to form an image on the entrance slit of a matching stigmatic spectrometer, which would then disperse a spectrum of a strip of the sky onto a sensitive two-dimensional detector. A separate imaging system would be used for pointing and tracking, and both instruments would be on a computer controlled mounting that would permit automated data acquisition. Data from the instrument could be acquired remotely and then stored and analyzed on a high speed workstation.
