Description
The importance of forbidden line radiation is considered, taking into account lines in the visible and the infrared range. The result of a theoretical study conducted by Petrosian (1970) is shown in a graph which indicates the intensities of the IR lines predicted for M42. The predicted values were found later to be one order of magnitude too high. A description is given of a spectrometer which was designed for extraterrestrial observations. The spectrometer was used together with a 91-cm telescope which is installed in a NASA Convair 141 aircraft. Several observational flights were conducted in November and December of 1975. The results of the studies are discussed, taking into account the detection of the forbidden line at 18.7 micrometers in M42.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
