Description:
The High Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph (HRTS) instrument flew on the Spacelab 2 mission and consisted of a 30-cm Gregorian telescope, a slit spectrograph covering the 1190-1680 A region with 0.05-A spectral resolution, a broadband (90 A FWHM) spectroheliograph tuned to 1550 A, and an H-alpha filter system. The spectrograph slit was 920 arcsec, approximately in length. Subarcsecond spatial resolution along the slit is possible, but because of jitter in the Spacelab Instrument Pointing System, good exposures actually achieved 1-2 arcsec resolution.
