What Does HIRES Stand For?
HIRES stands for High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer
HIRES, or High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer, is an advanced astronomical instrument designed to obtain high-resolution spectral data from celestial objects. Utilizing an echelle optical design, HIRES enables precise measurements of wavelengths, enhancing our understanding of stellar compositions, dynamics, and distances. Its capabilities make it an essential tool for research in astrophysics and cosmology, facilitating discoveries in areas such as exoplanet detection, stellar evolution, and the study of distant galaxies.
