GHOST Commissioning Science Results: Identifying a new chemically peculiar star in Reticulum II
Christian R. Hayes, Kim A. Venn, Fletcher Waller +79
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is the newest high resolution spectrograph to be developed for a large aperture telescope, recently deployed and commissione…
GHOST commissioning science results -- IV: Chemodynamical analyses of Milky Way satellites Sagittarius II and Aquarius II
Daria Zaremba, Kim Venn, Christian R. Hayes +28
We present Gemini/GHOST high-resolution spectra of five stars observed in two low surface brightness Milky Way satellites, Sagittarius II (Sgr2) and Aquarius II (Aqu2). For Aqu2, t…
Panopticon: a telescope for our times
Will Saunders, Timothy Chin, Michael Goodwin
We present a design for a wide-field spectroscopic telescope. The only large powered mirror is spherical, the resulting spherical aberration is corrected for each target separately…
Spectroscopic fingerprints of valence and spin states in manganese oxides and fluorides
Ruimin Qiao, Timothy Chin, Stephen J. Harris +2
We performed a systematic study of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in various manganese oxides and fluorides. Both Mn L-edges and ligand (O and F) K-edges are presented and comp…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results III: Characterizing an iron-poor damped Lyman system
Trystyn A. M. Berg, Christian R. Hayes, Stefano Cristiani +20
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is a new echelle spectrograph available on the Gemini-South telescope as of Semester 2024A. We present the first high resolu…
The Science Performance of the Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph
Alan W. McConnachie, Christian R. Hayes, J. Gordon Robertson +46
The Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) is a fiber-fed spectrograph system on the Gemini South telescope that provides simultaneous wavelength coverage from 348 - 1…
