Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini-South: Instrument performance and integration, first science, and next steps
V. M. Kalari, R. J. Diaz, G. Robertson +57
The Gemini South telescope is now equipped with a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST (the Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph). This instrument provides high-eff…
Strategic Scientific Plan for Gemini Observatory
J. P. Blakeslee, A. Adamson, C. Davis +30
We present the Strategic Scientific Plan (SSP) for the direction and activities of the Gemini Observatory in the 2020s. The overarching goal is to ensure that Gemini best uses the…
Identifying the 3FHL catalog: VI. Results of the 2019 Gemini optical spectroscopy campaign
M. Rajagopal, L. Marcotulli, K. Labrie +2
Active galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with their relativistic jets pointed toward the observer, are a class of luminous gamma-ray sources commonly known as blazars. The study of this sourc…
The Intrinsic Far-UV Spectrum of B1422+231
M. O'Dowd, N. F. Bate, R. L. Webster +3
We present new spectroscopy of the z=3.62 gravitationally lensed quasar B1422+117 from the Gemini North GMOS integral field spectrograph. We observe significant differential magnif…
Differential Microlensing Measurements of Quasar Broad Line Kinematics in Q2237+0305
M. O'Dowd, N. F. Bate, R. L. Webster +2
The detailed workings of the central engines of powerful quasars remain a mystery. This is primarily due to the fact that, at their cosmological distances, the inner regions of the…
