The Archive is formed with all files measured with ARcetri Near Infrared CAmera ( ARNICA). Each files contains (in FITS format) or a single exposure or the mean of single exposures taken at the same telescope position. The filer used can be either a Johnson broad band infrared filter (J, H, K), or a narrow band filter (see ARNICA) page for details). Most measures was acquired at the TIRGO telescope, while a smaller sample cames from the few telescopes Arnica was ported to (WHT, NOT, VATT and TNG). All frame are in FITS format and are 256x256 pixels in size. The archive contains more than 250.000 frames. Most files belongs to a compound measure (we call them "a mosaic").

Description:
The Tübingen NLTE Model-Atmosphere Package (`TMAP
<http://astro.uni-tuebingen.de/%7ETMAP/TMAP.html>`_) is a tool to calculate
stellar atmospheres in spherical or plane-parallel geometry in hydrostatic
and radiative equilibrium allowing departures from local thermodynamic
equilibrium (LTE) for the population of atomic levels./TMAP/ is based on
the so-called Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) method and is able to
account for line blanketing by metals. All elements from hydrogen to nickel
may be included in the calculation with model atoms which are tailored for
the aims of the user.
DOLORES (Device Optimized for the LOw RESolution) is a focal reducer instrument installed at the Nasmyth B focus of the TNG. The detector is a 2048 x 2048 E2V 4240 Thinned back-illuminated, deep-depleted, Astro-BB coated CCD with a pixel size of 13.5 µ. The scale is 0.252 arcsec/px which yields a field of view of about 8.6 x 8.6 arcmin. The instrument allows imaging through broad and narrow band filters as well as spectroscopic observations with resolving powers between RS=~500 and RS=~6000. A multi-slit mode, based on custom masks manufactured by a dedicate cutting machine, is also available. Please note that MOS programs are bound to strict constraints on the number of masks and on the time necessary to design and manufacture them. In particular, each program can request up to a maximum of 5 masks per night and 10 masks per observing run.
NICS (Near Infrared Camera Spectrometer) is the TNG infrared (0.9-2.5 µm) multimode instrument which is based on a HgCdTe Hawaii 1024x1024 array. Its observing capabilities include imaging (4.2' x 4.2' f.o.v.), high-throughput low resolution spectroscopy (RS=50-500), medium resolution spectoscopy (max-R=2500), imaging polarimetry, spectropolarimetry and, when coupled to the adaptive optics module, nearly diffraction limited imaging.
OIG is a CCD camera for direct imaging at optical wavelengths (between 0.32 nd 1.1 microns) for the TNG. It is mounted on the Nasmyth A Adapter interface. OIG is designed to host a variety of CCD chips or mosaics for a field of view up to 10 arcmin. At the moment it is equipped with a mosaic of two thinned and back-illuminated EEV 42-80 CCDs with 2048 x 4096 pixels each (pixel size of 13.5 microns). The resulting pixel scale is 0.072 arcsec/pix for a total field of view of about 4.9 x 4.9 arcmin.
The Tübingen Echelle Spectrograph (TUES), designed and managed at the University of Tübingen, flew on the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (ORFEUS)-SPAS II space shuttle mission in 1996, returning spectra in the 900 Å to 1400 Å wavelength range. The instrument was designed to achieve a spectral resolution of /=10000 when used with an entrance aperture of 10" diameter. During the 17.7 day flight, TUES returned 239 spectra of 62 targets. Note each file contains one echelle order.
The Tübingen Echelle (TUES) obtained moderate dispersion observations (R=13,000) using an echelle grating including orders 40 - 61 from 910 - 1410 Angstroms. The instrument was designed and built by the University of Tübingen (PI: M. Grewing) and flew as one of three spectrographs on the ORFEUS/SPAS-2 mission for 14 days in November/December 1996. The instrumental resolution was about 10,000 and the effective aperture peaks at 1.3 cm2 near 1100 Angstroms. Objects were observed in a 10 arcsec entrance aperture. The wavelength calibration was established by means of interstellar molecular hydrogen lines.
2MASS data were collected by uniformly scanning the entire sky in three
near-infrared bands to detect and characterize point sources brighter than
about 1 mJy in each band, with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 10,
using a pixel size of 2.0". This achieves an 80,000-fold improvement in
sensitivity relative to earlier surveys.
2MASS used two new, highly-automated 1.3-m telescopes, one at Mt. Hopkins,
AZ, and one at CTIO, Chile. Each telescope is equipped with a three-channel
camera, each channel consisting of a 256 by 256 array of HgCdTe detectors,
capable of observing the sky simultaneously at J (1.25 microns),
H (1.65 microns), and K<sub>s</sub> (2.17 microns).
