TREx Spectrograph#

The Meridian Imaging Spectrographs obtain a full auroral spectrum along a magnetic meridian, from which keograms (and other data products) of individual auroral emissions (e.g., 630 nm) can be obtained. As well, one can calculate ratios between different emissions, and identify the presence of the continuum emission.
