Help with Spectroscopy in Astronomy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges faced in researching spectroscopy related to the Sun for an optics project. The term "Ascell spectroscopy" is believed to be misspelled, leading to difficulties in finding relevant information. Participants suggest that the correct term is likely "Echelle spectroscopy," which is commonly used in astronomical measurements. The original poster has searched various academic databases without success. Clarification on terminology and specific spectroscopy methods for solar measurement is sought to aid in the research.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few days I have been having trouble with finding research for my optics project.

The topic I chose was supposed to be the physics behind how astronomer's and astrophysics measure the Spectrum of the Sun ans specifically the mathematics/physics behind the spectroscopy they use for our sun and others. According to my professor is called like "Ascell spectroscopy" with him pronouncing the "Ascell" like the phrase "a-shell". After 2-3 day of searching WebofScience, Galelio, Google Scholar, and even Wikipedia for this term, I come up with so little information that I think I have somehow completely butcher the spelling of "Ascell Spectroscopy"


So if you guys could help me figure out the correct spelling of this word it would help out alot. Alternatively if you guys have the current name(s) of the specific spectroscopy(s) we use to measure the Sun that would help also.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
