Scientific paper

This thesis presents instrumental and observational work carried out in the far-infrared wavelength range. An imaging triple Fabry-Perot spectrometer for far-infrared airborne astronomy has been designed and constructed. The work included the design and construction of a 25-channel digital lock-in. The mechanics of the triple Fabry-Perot have been designed such that the adjustment of the device is maintained during cryogenic cycling. A lifting mechanism ensures that the Fabry-Perot can be moved in and out of the beam during observation. The control electronics is based on the principle of a capacitance bridge. Besides the data handling, the VME-bus system performs synchronous actions such as scanning the Fabry-Perots and the control of the chopper electronics. The author describes imaging spectroscopy of the fine structure [O I] line at 63 μm and 145 μm and of the [C II] line at 158 μm in two star-forming regions: the Orion H II region M42 and the optically obscured region DR21.
