First Light Results from the Hermes Spectrograph at the AAT
Andrew Sheinis, Borja Anguiano, Martin Asplund +60
The High Efficiency and Resolution Multi Element Spectrograph, HERMES, is a facility-class optical spectrograph for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). It is designed primarily f…
The Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) for Subaru Telescope
Masahiko Kimura, Toshinori Maihara, Fumihide Iwamuro +39
Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) is the first near-infrared instrument with a wide field of view capable of acquiring spectra simultaneously from up to 400 objects. It has be…
First Science with SAMI: A Serendipitously Discovered Galactic Wind in ESO 185-G031
Lisa M. R. Fogarty, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Scott M. Croom +27
We present the first scientific results from the Sydney-AAO Multi-Object IFS (SAMI) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This unique instrument deploys 13 fused fibre bundles (hexabu…
SAMI Automated Plug Plate Configuration
Nuria P. F. Lorente, Tony Farrell, Michael Goodwin
The Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) is a prototype wide-field system at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) which uses a plug-plate to mount its 13 x 61…
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…
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Book 2018
Alexis Hill, Nicolas Flagey, Alan McConnachie +122
(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the…
CYCLOPS2: the fibre image slicer upgrade for the UCLES high resolution spectrograph
Anthony Horton, C. G. Tinney, Scott Case +10
CYCLOPS2 is an upgrade for the UCLES high resolution spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, scheduled for commissioning in semester 2012A. By replacing the 5 mirror Coudé…
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…
Hector Galaxy Survey: Linking the low- and high-mass ends of the initial mass function in star-forming galaxies
Diego Salvador, Andrew Hopkins, Matt Owers +30
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental ingredient in galaxy evolution, linking observed integrated light to galaxy properties. Constraining the full IMF shape bey…
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…
The Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI)
Scott M. Croom, Jon S. Lawrence, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +22
We demonstrate a novel technology that combines the power of the multi-object spectrograph with the spatial multiplex advantage of an integral field spectrograph (IFS). The Sydney-…
