Seminar Announcement
"Hyperspectral imaging of upper atmosphere at UMass Lowell"
Supriya Chakrabarti
Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology
University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Wednesday, November 1, 2017
12;30 pm to 1:30 pm
SMAST West, Room 204
706 S. French Rodney Blvd, New Bedford, MA
Abstract:
Over the years our group has developed various optical imaging techniques for challenging ground- and space-based applications from lidars to spectral imagers to interferometers. In this talk I will describe instrumentation and science results from two hyperspectral imagers – a high-resolution ground-based spectrograph operating in the visible range and a space-based limb-viewing ultraviolet (60 – 140 nm) spectrograph. Both instruments are used to probe the upper atmosphere for a deeper understanding of the physical characteristics of the atmosphere and ionosphere, their morphology and their response to solar events (space weather).
The spaceflight instrument is called Limb-Imaging Ionospheric and Thermospheric Extreme-ultraviolet Spectrograph (LITES). It was launched aboard a SpaceX launcher on February 19, 2017 and was subsequently installed on the International Space Station (ISS). I will also describe the High Throughput and Multi-slit Imaging Spectrograph (HiT&MIS), a ground-based instrument. Both LITES and HiT&MIS are operational and I will show science results from these observations.
