3D Spectroscopy with large Telescopes: past, present and prospects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The dimensional curse of having to pack 3D spectrophotometry data on solely 2D detectors is briefly discussed, and the main astronomical domains covered by 3D spectroscopy introduced. Finally, the scientific case for high spatial resolution 3D techniques coupled to Adaptive Optics capabilities is presented, with special emphasis on the observation of the nuclei of galaxies.
