PlanetCam UPV/EHU: a simultaneous visible and near infraredlucky-imaging camera to study solar system objects

摘要

PlanetCam is a two-channel camera designed primarily to observe the atmospheres of the planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and the satellite Titan simultaneously at visible (0.4-1 microns) and NIR (1-2.5 microns)wavelengths with high temporal and spatial resolution. This is accomplished by means of a dichroic beam splitter thatseparates both beams directing them into two different detectors (visible and NIR channels). Each detector has filterwheels including broad filters and narrow band filters centered in absorption bands characteristic of each planetaryatmosphere. Images are acquired and processed using the "lucky imaging" technique.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
