The wavelength dependence of seeing

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The deleterious effects of atmospheric inhomogeneities on telescope angular resolution (seeing effects) were studied at a wavelength of 10 μm with an imaging upconverter. Seeing was found to be systematically better by a factor of 1.9 at 10 μm than in the visible, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. A discussion of the theory of astronomical seeing is included.
