Spectral Resolution and
Wavelength Comparison
In the graph above, the spectrometers of ISO (SWS and LWS) and SIRTF
instruments are compared with the ten first-light instruments of SOFIA.
Notice that the wavelength coverage and range of spectral resolution
( / )
of the SOFIA suite of instruments extends to longer wavelengths, beyond
the range of the two other missions. SOFIA will perform observations
at wavelengths in the optical to the submillimeter, and will reach
resolutions of R = 108 (10-3
km/s). |
