Characterization and Optimization of Skipper CCDs for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Andrés A. Plazas Malagón +14
We present results from the characterization and optimization of six Skipper CCDs for use in a prototype focal plane for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). We tested eigh…
Astronomical Spectroscopy with Skipper CCDs: First Results from a Skipper CCD Focal Plane Prototype at SIFS
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Brandon Roach +22
We present the first on-sky results from an ultra-low-readout-noise Skipper CCD focal plane prototype for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). The Skipper CCD focal plane c…
Design of a Skipper CCD Focal Plane for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Marco Bonati +14
We present the development of a Skipper Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) focal plane prototype for the SOAR Telescope Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). This mosaic focal plane consist…
CHIRON - A Fiber Fed Spectrometer for Precise Radial Velocities
Andrei Tokovinin, Debra A. Fischer, Marco Bonati +5
The CHIRON optical high-resolution echelle spectrometer was commissioned at the 1.5m telescope at CTIO in 2011. The instrument was designed for high throughput and stability, with…
