Spatial Resolution Comparison
The graph shows the spatial resolution (the ability to discern
fine details) of SOFIA at wavelengths from 0.3 to 1000 µm and
also compares the resolution of SOFIA's instruments with the instruments
of KAO, IRAS, ISO, SIRTF and Herschel. The dashed red line represents
SOFIA's minimal requirements, the solid line represents SOFIA's goal.
At wavelengths between 4 and 1000 µm, SOFIA has the advantage
of achieving extremely high spatial reolution. |
