The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is an airborne observatory consisting of a specially modified Boeing 747SP with 2.7 m telescope, flying at altitudes as high 13.7 km (45,000 ft). Designed to observe wavelengths from 0.3 μm 1.6 mm, SOFIA operates above 99.8% the water vapor that obscures much infrared and submillimeter. has seven science instruments under development, including occultation photometer, near-, mid-, far-infrared cameras, spectrometers, heterodyne...
Observations of the 2007 March 18 occultation star P445.3 (2UCAC 25823784; R = 15.3) by Pluto were obtained at high time resolution five sites across western United States and reduced to produce light curves for each station using standard aperture photometry. Global models Pluto's upper atmosphere are fitted simultaneously all resulting curves. The results these model fits indicate that structure is essentially unchanged since previous observed in 2006, leading a well-constrained...
The Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) features a tunable filter imager (TFI) module covering wavelength range from 1.5 to 5.0 μm at resolving power ~100 over field view 2.2'×2.2'. TFI also set occulting spots and non-redundant mask for high-contrast imaging. This paper presents current status development. instrument is currently under its final integration test phase.
