Bass Office of Electronic Commerce in Scientific and Engineering Data, Abstract:
This atlas presents observations of the infra-red (IR) spectrum of a low current
Th-Ar hollow cathode lamp with the 2-m Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS)
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. These observations establish
more than 2400 lines that are suitable for use as wavelength standards in the
range 691 nm to 5804 nm. The observations were made in collaboration with the
European Southern Observatory (ESO), in order to provide calibration reference
data for new high-resolution Echelle spectrographs, such as the Cryogenic High-Resolution
IR Echelle Spectrograph ([CRIRES]), ESO's new
IR spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Full details of the measurement
and analysis are given in [Kerber et al.(2008)].
