Visible camera cryostat design and performance for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)
Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski +13
We describe the design and performance of the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) visible camera cryostats. SuMIRe PFS is a massively multi-plexed ground-based spectrograph consi…
Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) for the Subaru Telescope: Overview, recent progress, and future perspectives
Naoyuki Tamura, Naruhisa Takato, Atsushi Shimono +97
PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph), a next generation facility instrument on the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope, is a very wide-field, massively multiplexed, optical and near-infrared spec…
Prime Focus Spectrograph for the Subaru telescope: massively multiplexed optical and near-infrared fiber spectrograph
Hajime Sugai, Naoyuki Tamura, Hiroshi Karoji +81
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is an optical/near-infrared multifiber spectrograph with 2394 science fibers distributed across a 1.3-deg diameter field of view at the Subaru 8.…
A Novel Reflectometer for Relative Reflectance Measurements of CCDs
Murdock Hart, Robert H. Barkhouser, James E. Gunn +1
The high quantum efficiencies (QE) of backside illuminated charge coupled devices (CCD) has ushered in the age of the large scale astronomical survey. The QE of these devices can b…
The near infrared camera for the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph
Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski +10
We present the detailed design of the near infrared camera for the SuMIRe (Subaru Measurement of Images and Redshifts) Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being developed for the Subaru…
The Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) II. Transit Candidates and Implications for Planet Occurrence around L and T Dwarfs
Patrick Tamburo, Philip S. Muirhead, Allison M. McCarthy +7
We describe a new transit detection algorithm designed to detect single transit events in discontinuous Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) observations of L and T dwarfs.…
Progress with the Prime Focus Spectrograph for the Subaru Telescope: a massively multiplexed optical and near-infrared fiber spectrograph
Hajime Sugai, Naoyuki Tamura, Hiroshi Karoji +81
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is an optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph with 2394 science fibers, which are distributed in 1.3 degree diameter field of view at Suba…

Murdock Hart, Robert H. Barkhouser, Michael Carr +4
We describe the infrastructure being developed to align and characterize the detectors for the Subaru Measurement of Images and Redshifts (SuMIRe) Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS). P…
Detectors and cryostat design for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)
James E. Gunn, Michael Carr, Stephen A. Smee +20
We describe the conceptual design of the camera cryostats, detectors, and detector readout electronics for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being developed for the Subaru…
The Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) I. Survey Overview, Reduction Pipeline, and Early Results
Patrick Tamburo, Philip S. Muirhead, Allison M. McCarthy +9
We describe the Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES), a near-infrared photometric search for short-period transiting planets and moons around a sample of 393 spectroscopica…
