Another year has passed with many meteor spectra. As in the last year (2020), here is the report of these spectra, recorded at Maienfeld during the year 2021 meteor-spectra-2021Download The spectra were recorded with a DMK 33GX249 camera from The Imaging Source (thanks to Roger Spinner for giving me this camera), equipped with a Kowa … Continue reading Meteor spectra 2021
Atmospheric extinction, Python processing
In a previous blog I have described the use of instrument response for the flux calibration of meteor spectra. One would like to have a plot of energy against wavelength. Unfortunately the measured intensity is influenced by detector sensitivity, grating efficiency, transmission of optics (window, lens, filters) and atmospheric transmittance (all wavelength dependent). The basics … Continue reading Atmospheric extinction, Python processing
