Scientific paper

A liquid-He-cooled spectrometer is being developed as a facility instrument for the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, primarily to study far-infrared (FIR) lines originating in the interstellar medium. It achieves a maximum resolving power ≡6000 by means of a 45 cm long echelle grating and is optically capable of operating in the spectral range from 25 to 300 μm. An array of detectors is used to measure simultaneously a line and the adjacent continuum from astronomical sources. Currently six detectors allow mesurements in the 30 - 120 μm spectral band. This summary briefly describes the instrument and its performance.
