the chromospheres of classical cepheids. 111. a search for transition
... In Paper I we presented the strengths of lines in the farultraviolet region. The intention was to make an initial survey of chromospheric activity in Cepheids with as extensive phase coverage as possible. Thus, the exposures were all relatively short ( < 1 hr). While emission was seen in most of the ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
