Poznań Astronomical Observatory Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań, Poland Radial-velocity observations of pulsating stars with a new Poznań Spectroscopic Telescope 23 June 2008
Our team • R. Baranowski, P. Bartczak, W. Borczyk, • W. Dimitrov, M. Fagas, K. Kamiński, T. Kwiatkowski, • R. Ratajczak, A. Rożek, A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny
The telescope Mirors diameter – 0.4 m Focal length – 1.8 m Optical system – Newtonian Diameter of the fibers – 50 m Accesible altitudes h>24° Mean. slewing rate 90°/min Guiding cameras ST7
The echellé spectrograph Baudrand and Bohm (1992)
CCD camera: Andor DZ 436 5-stage peltier cooling Temp. –95°C 2048 x 2048 pix pixel size 13.5 x 13.5μm dark current <1el/h readout noise 2.1 el/pix Echellé spectrograph Spectral range: 4480 Å – 9250 Å Resolution: R=35000 (~8 km/s)
Echellé spectrum – 64 orders 4480 Å – 9250 Å blue range: 1pix = 0.04 Å order length = 80 Å every order adds 40 Å middle: 1pix = 0.05 Å ~2.5 km/s order length = 100 Åevery order adds 80 Å red range: 1pix = 0.08 Å order length = 160 Å every order adds 125 Å

Statistics • 13 august 2007 - 30 may 2008 • 83 nights • 637 hours • 1080 science spectra • Colaborators • Warsaw CAMK • Vienna Institute of Astronomy • Wrocław Astronomical Institute • Toruń Centre for Astronomy
Future perspectives • Upgrade of the telescope: • 2 x 0.5m mirrors • simultaneous exposure of two fibers • better automatisation and remote control • Upgrade of the calibration, some ideas: • experiment - mixing the ThAr and stellar light • Vrad accuracy increase with a iodine cell • spectral resolution increase with the EDI interferometer • Radial velocity measurements: • broadening function • TODCOR • spectral disentangling
