    Great: Erman Ceiver For Stronomy at Erahertz Frequencies

    Uploaded by

    Iranian Spotters
    The German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT) is a dual channel heterodyne spectrometer instrument onboard the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) aircraft. GREAT can detect light in the far-infrared range of 60-200 microns and is used to observe fine structure lines of ionized nitrogen and carbon, deuterated molecular hydrogen, and the 63 micron transition of atomic oxygen.

    GREAT

    GERMAN RECEIVER FOR ASTRONOMY AT TERAHERTZ FREQUENCIES

    1 IR Heterodyne Spectrometer (GREAT works like a very high


    frequency radio receiver detecting light waves not light particles)

    2 Range: 60-200 microns

    3 Dual channel instrument

    4 Observations in three different frequencies:


    • Low-frequency to map fine structure lines of ionized nitrogen
    and carbon
    • Mid-frequency to study deuterated molecular hydrogen
    • High-frequency to examine the transition of atomic oxygen at 63 microns

    PIs: Dr. Rolf Güsten (Science), Dr. Stefan Heyminck (Technical),


    Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Bonn
