The spectrometer has a 4' circular field of view and a velocity resolution of 27.27 km s^-1 (a spectral resolving power of 11000) over a 200 km s^-1 spectral window near Hα. This work presents the details of the newly redesigned instrument for coude observations, the data reduction techniques and finally presents some physical results of our new Hα observations selected from the Reynolds et al. (2005) and Fich et al. (1990) papers. The DEFPOS system has been fully tested and the first observations of HII regions and PNe in the Galaxy are used to illustrate the power of the instrument. We feel that our first Fabry-Perot observations can provide a powerful tool for the study of objects with small angular size. In the future, we are planning to prepare a catalog including some physical properties such as radial velocity, line width, and intensity of some PNe and HII regions close to the 4' field of view.展开更多

A total of 26 regions have been observed inside the nebula with the Dual Etalon Fabry- Perot Optical Spectrometer system at the f/48 Coud6 focus of the 150 cm RTT150 telescope located at TUBITAK National Observatory in Antalya, Turkey. The inten- sities, local standard of rest velocities, heliocentric radial velocities and linewidths for full width at half maximum of the Hα emission lines have been determined from these observations. They lie in the range of 259 to 1159 Rayleigh (R; 1R = 106/47r pho- tons cm-2 sr-1 S-1 = 2.41 × 10-7 erg cm-2 sr-1 S-1 at Ha), 4 to 12 km s-1, -3 to -11 km s-1 and 44 to 55 km s-i, respectively. The radial velocity measurements show that there are several maxima and minima inside W80. The new results confirm findings in the literature that the complex seems to be rather uniform in terms of radial velocity and no turbulent motion is seen inside the complex. The average value of the calculated emission measure for the region is 3.1 pc cm-6.展开更多
