The Goddard Fabry-Perot Imager (GFPI) is an optical scanning interferometer and CCD imaging system developed at the Goddard Space Flight Center’s Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics for use at various astronomical observatories. Besides being transportable, its most notable characteristic is the relatively low spectral resolution (3 – 30Å bandpass). The instrument may be used in scanning mode for objects with a large range of velocities but is most often employed to match the observed wavelength of a Doppler shifted emission feature for objects with any velocity.
