The project is for the development of a spectrometer correlator system that will enable high-resolution spectroscopy in the mid-infrared with the Infrared Spatial Interferometer at the Mt. Wilson Observatory. The new capability will allow some unique capabilities, including studying the presence and extent of water and other molecules in environments directly surrounding red giant stars. The work will involve several students and summer interns, and will provide them with hands-on research.

该项目是为了开发一个光谱仪相关器系统，该系统将使中红外线的高分辨率光谱与在山的红外空间干涉仪。威尔逊天文台新的能力将允许一些独特的能力，包括研究水和其他分子在直接围绕红巨星的环境中的存在和程度。这项工作将涉及几个学生和暑期实习生，并将为他们提供动手研究。
