Re: C2014Q2

Hello all, Last Saturday, I made a spectrum of the comet, with my Alpy spectro. Of course, nothing comparable with your great data, but my observation was made in city center, from the balcony of my appartment ! I only can see a small part of the sky - but luckily, this time the comet was in my smal...

Re: ISIS, BeSS standard and observatory coordinates

Robin, and all, This is an important question. First, I remind that if we made this choice in BeSS (using a form for observer, site and instrument), this is to ensure the data integrity : all spectra taken from a given observatory always have the same data, with no risk for human error. But "Be...

Re: ARAS spectral data base

Hello Andrew, and all,

This is a very good idea to structure this kind of observation, of course.
I'll contact (very soon) all involved persons in this actvity, to see how to do that.

Stay tuned,

Friendly,

François

Re: Question about Be star V1466 Aql

Hello Massimiliano and all, Whaou.... here is the reply from Coralie (you got it directly, but I copy it to share it with the community) : ------------------------------------------------------------ V1466 Aql was discovered to have Halpha emission in 1990 and was listed in the 1999 catalog of Kohou...

Re: Question about Be star V1466 Aql

Hi Massimiliano, Very good question ! The BeSS database is considered by the community (including professionnals) as the reference for the Be stars : it is not only a database for spectra, but it is first the best catalog for Be stars. Anyway, from time to time, amateurs can bring some news (:>). It...

Re: Low res Instrumental Response curve

Thanks for your reply, Christian. Ok for Pickles AOV or A2V - I agree : profiles are very close. Regarding the position in the sky, for zet Ari, the slit was about 45° compared to horizon, and the observed direction was close to 120° (180° = south). For HD51104, it was about 20°, and observed direct...

Low res Instrumental Response curve

Hello all, Some days ago, I made a (good) observation of Be star, from home, with Alpy 600 & C8 telescope. I'm in very poor conditions (urban lights, installed on my balcony...), but it worked fine (spectra are now in BeSS :>). During this observation I did a very simple skill : take several spe...

Re: V1294 Aql Modification Ha Line

Stéphane, Ouf - j'avais pas dit de bêtise, alors (:>). Deux petites remarques : - Attention à la notion de normalisation... ce terme a des significations différentes selon à qui tu t'adresses. En gros, pour les pros, la nrmalisation consiste à corriger le spectre du continuum (pour n'étudier que les...
