The high-resolution Echelle Spectrograph of the 6-m telescope of the special astrophysical observatory

摘要

Results of the development and implementation of the Nasmyth Echelle Spectrograph (NES) of the 6-m telescope of the Special AstrophysicalObservatory are presented. The NES is a tunable spectral system with a large-diameter collimated beam that is suitable for various types of observations. Selected scientific programs carried out by the developers of the instrument are described as illustrations of its application. The possible development of the spectrograph with the 6-m telescope over the coming 19 years is discussed.
