A meridian imaging auroral spectrograph (ASG) that can measure a spectrum in the visible region along a meridian has been developed for research on the auroral physics and the polar upper-atmosphere dynamics. Combination of a fast optical system inherited from a monochromatic all-sky imager, a grism as a dispersive element, and a cooled CCD camera has enabled a wide field-of-view of 180° along a meridian, spectral coverage of 420-730 nm, spectral resolution of 1.5-2.0 nm, and high sensitivity to be obtained. The absolute sensitivity over a full-image field was calibrated using a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable integrating sphere and determined to be 0.06 cts/s/R at a wavelength of 560 nm at the zenith. The ASG was installed at Longyearbyen in March 2000, and routine operation was started in the 2000/2001 winter season. An example of an auroral spectral image is presented in this report to demonstrate the performance of the ASG.}, pages = {99--110}, title = {A new meridian imaging spectrogarph for the auroral spectroscopy}, volume = {16}, year = {2002} }
