What Does ACIS Stand For?
ACIS stands for Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer
ACIS, or Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer, is a sophisticated instrument designed for astronomical observations. It utilizes charge-coupled device (CCD) technology to capture high-resolution images and spectra from various celestial sources. ACIS is primarily employed on space telescopes to study the physical and chemical properties of astronomical objects, enabling researchers to gain deeper insights into the universe’s composition and evolution. Its advanced capabilities enhance our understanding of phenomena such as star formation, galaxy dynamics, and cosmic radiation.
