Super-resolution estimation is the problem of recovering a stream of spikes (point sources) from the noisy observation of a few number of its first trigonometric moments. The performance of super-resolution is recognized to be intimately related to the separation between the spikes to recover. A novel notion of stability of the Fisher information matrix (FIM) of the super-resolution problem is introduced, when the minimal eigenvalue of the FIM is not asymptotically vanishing. The regime where the minimal separation is inversely proportional to the number of acquired moments is considered. It is shown that there is a separation threshold above which the eigenvalues of the FIM can be bounded by a quantity that does not depend on the number of moments. The proof relies on characterizing the connection between the stability of the FIM and a generalization of the Beurling-Selberg box approximation problem.
