Another interesting comparison, suggested by our referee, is the processing of
spectra with different resolving powers. For such an investigation we selected
Cas. Information taken from a spectrum generally depends on
resolving power, but an equivalent width does not, while our technique is in
principle independent on the resolving power.
Moreover, the correctness of the continuum location can be
tested using spectra with different resolving powers.
In Table 11 we summarized the results obtained in very similar wavelength
intervals (approximately 6300 Å - 6700 Å) using spectra acquired with
different resolving powers. From the table it turns out that the
results obtained with
different spectrograms (specially metallicity) do not depend on the resolving
power.
