Scientific paper

A high resolution near-IR Fourier spectrometer with the same general design as previously described laboratory instruments has been built for astronomical observations at a Coude focus. Present spectral range is 0.8-3.5 microns with PbS and Ge detectors and maximum path difference 1 m. The servo system can accommodate various recording modes: stepping or continuous scan, path difference modulation, sky chopping. A real time computer is incorporated into the system, which has been set up at the Hale 500-cm telescope on Mount Palomar. Samples of the results are given.
