Relative spatial response functions, V/V0, for a number of present and upcoming instruments/missions.

Intensity Velocity
VIRGO CoRoT Kepler HARPS SONG
(862 nm) (660 nm) (641 nm)a (535 nm) (550 nm)

V0/V0 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
V1/V0 1.20 1.22 1.22 1.35 1.35
V2/V0 0.67 0.70 0.71 1.02 1.01
V3/V0 0.10 0.14 0.14 0.48 0.47
V4/V0 –0.10 –0.09 –0.08 0.09 0.09

Notes. Notice the increased sensitivity to  = 3,4 modes in velocity. Negative values of V mean that the oscillations will appear to have reversed phases.
