History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back History of Development of Technical Base of Domestic Astronomical Spectroscopy T.A. Yakshina The article is devoted to some questions of the Russian experimental astrophysics base research, namely to development technology of Russian astronomical spectroscopy. The main stages of Russian stellar spectroscopy research are allocated. The basic technical parameters of spectroscopic star researches are specified: types of used telescopes and spectrographs, limiting magnitude m, reciprocal linear dispersion D, accuracy of measurement of radial velocities delta v, volume of spectroscopic observations. It is drawn a conclusion about inconsistency of two branches of astronomical instrument-making: creation development of optical telescopes and elaboration of spectroscopic equipment. Key words: astrophysics; spectroscopy; telescope; astronomer; equipment. Tel.: (8-8652) 35-92-10 (Office)
