	[No title]
		Spectroscopy was a very attractive field of study to the amateur scientists of the 19th century, and no doubt many of the direct vision spectroscopes to be found at antique shows today were used to admire the natural world without necessarily dissecting it.
		In 1877, he published a spectral catalog of 209 stars, and included a note on the possibility of measuring radial velocity using the displacement of lines, which was attempted by Huggins in 1878.
		Using a grating ruled by Wanscheff in Berlin, he attempted stellar spectroscopy in 1881, which was probably the first attempt at obtaining the spectra of a star, but it was not successful.

	Material for course 3020 Astronomical Spectroscopy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Spectroscopy over a wide wavelength range holds the key to understanding many astonomical phenomena, since it provides the means to study the temperature, density, pressure, chemical composition (abundances), velocity field, and total amount of gas.
		Spectroscopy, even when used for purely continuum studies, provides more detail than imaging (certainly in the case of point sources!), and provides intensity information at points in wavelength, frequency, or velocity space.
		In addition, even when spectroscopy is used in a supporting role, such as in determining the redshift of extragalactic galaxies or quasars, the implications can have far-reaching results.

		She drew her readers' attention to the founding of what she called "astronomical or cosmical physics", a new science that was markedly different in goals as well as methods from its older mathematical cousin.
		Coupling the spectroscope to the astronomical telescope amalgamated the methods, instruments, and theories of chemistry and physics to those of astronomy suggesting new questions which, in turn, generated new mensurational tasks and ultimately realigned the familiar boundaries of acceptable research in astronomy.
		Astronomers had long accepted that stars move in relation to one another, but it was only possible to measure a star's motion across the field of view, its "proper motion".

	Spectra
		Astronomers produce spectra by means of a "spectrograph" affixed to the telescope.
		As an aid to understanding, astronomers began classifying the spectra, the schemes culminating about 1890 in the one still used today when E.C. Pickering lettered the stars according to the strengths of their hydrogen lines, his assistants Annie Cannon, Antonia Maury, and Williamina Fleming aiding in development and observation.
		At the modern limit, astronomers can measure shifts produced by line-of-sight motions that are as small as a few meters per second, less than the speed of a world class runner.

	Spectroscopy Discussion \| Training on Spectroscopy \| Software Tools
		Spectroscopy is a technique that uses the interaction of energy with a sample to perform an analysis.
		In simplest terms, spectroscopy requires an energy source (commonly a laser, but this could be an ion source or radiation source) and a device for measuring the change in the energy source after it has interacted with the sample (often a spectrophotometer or interferometer).
		Attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy and the related technique called frustrated multiple internal reflection spectroscopy are used to analyze coatings and opaque liquids.

		Astronomical spectroscopy provides information on the types and abundances of matter present in a variety of astrophysical environments.
		The infrared region of the spectrum is particularly useful in characterizing the dust because the stretching, bending, rocking, wagging, and other modes of molecular bonds as well as lattice modes of solids are located in the infrared.
		To interpret the astronomical spectra it is necessary to have laboratory spectra of well-characterized materials that match the astronomical spectra.
