The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Overview of innovative science programs
Shelley A. Wright, James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore +22
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is a first light near-infrared diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrograph being designed for the future Thirty Meter Telescope…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Instrument Overview
Anna M. Moore, James E. Larkin, Shelley A. Wright +31
We present an overview of the design of IRIS, an infrared (0.84 - 2.4 micron) integral field spectrograph and imaging camera for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). With extremely lo…
Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations II: Detector Performance and Calibration
Patrick Ingraham, Marshall D. Perrin, Naru Sadakuni +7
The Gemini Planet Imager is a newly commissioned facility instrument designed to measure the near-infrared spectra of young extrasolar planets in the solar neighborhood and obtain…
First High-Contrast Science with an Integral Field Spectrograph: the Sub-Stellar Companion to GQ Lup
Michael W. McElwain, Stanimir A. Metchev, James E. Larkin +6
We present commissioning data from the OSIRIS integral field spectrograph (IFS) on the Keck II 10 m telescope that demonstrate the utility of adaptive optics IFS spectroscopy in st…
The Future of Astronomical Data Infrastructure: Meeting Report
Michael R. Blanton, Janet D. Evans, Dara Norman +69
The astronomical community is grappling with the increasing volume and complexity of data produced by modern telescopes, due to difficulties in reducing, accessing, analyzing, and…
The Keck Cosmic Web Imager Integral Field Spectrograph
Patrick Morrissey, Matuesz Matuszewski, D. Christopher Martin +36
We report on the design and performance of the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), a general purpose optical integral field spectrograph that has been installed at the Nasmyth port of t…
Chain characteristic polynomials of matroids
Gary Lazzaro, Max Wakefield, Jason Weiss
In this note we introduce a family of polynomials on a matroid derived from chain Tutte polynomials which generalize the classic and ubiquitous characteristic polynomial. We show t…
An overview of the NIRSPEC upgrade for the Keck II telescope
Emily C. Martin, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Ian S. McLean +11
NIRSPEC is a 1-5 micron echelle spectrograph in use on the Keck II Telescope since 1999. The spectrograph is capable of both moderate (R~2,000) and high (R~25,000) resolution obser…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: motion planning with collision avoidance for the on-instrument wavefront sensors
Edward L. Chapin, Jennifer Dunn, Jason Weiss +11
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) will be a first-light client instrument for the Narrow Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System (NFIRAOS) on the Thirty Meter Telescope. IRIS…
Commissioning ShARCS: the Shane Adaptive optics infraRed Camera-Spectrograph for the Lick Observatory 3-m telescope
Rosalie McGurk, Constance Rockosi, Donald Gavel +16
We describe the design and first-light early science performance of the Shane Adaptive optics infraRed Camera-Spectrograph (ShARCS) on Lick Observatory's 3-m Shane telescope. Desig…
Gemini Planet Imager One Button Approach
Jennifer Dunn, Dan Kerley, Leslie Saddlemyer +9
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is an "extreme" adaptive optics coronagraph system that is now on the Gemini South telescope in Chile. This instrument is composed of three different…
