Improving the Efficiency of High-Resolution Spectroscopy on the 6-m Telescope Using Adaptive Optics Techniques

  • Published:
Astrophysical Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract—We briefly discuss the stages of the development of high-resolution spectroscopy methods used with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which are related to the problem considered. We consider the possibility of the multiple increase of the stellar spectroscopy efficiency as a result of application of state-of-the-art solutions in the field of adaptive optics. At the first stage, we plan to perform tasks involving the image control and correction based on the central star. This stage should be naturally started with a spectrograph with the highest spectral resolution where the relatively bright star studied can serve as the reference source in the method of adaptive optics.
