The WEAVE acquisition and guiding software: pattern recognition-based acquisition and multi-fibre guiding
Emanuel Gafton, Gavin B. Dalton, Don Carlos Abrams +19
We present the architecture, implementation, and on-sky validation of the fully automated acquisition and guiding system (AG) developed for the WEAVE instrument on the William Hers…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies
Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…
The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: Expanding WEAVE's Reach to Bright and Low-Surface-Density Targets with a Novel Observing Mode
Thomas Hajnik, Nicholas A. Walton, Giuseppe D'Ago +28
Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in increased observational o…
The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212
WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…
EMIR, the near-infrared camera and multi-object spectrograph for the GTC
F. Garzón, M. Balcells, J. Gallego +18
We present EMIR, a powerful near-infrared (NIR) camera and multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of the 10.4 m GTC. EMIR was commissioned in mid-2016 and i…
Calibration at elevation of the WEAVE fibre positioner
Sarah Hughes, Gavin Dalton, Kevin Dee +11
WEAVE is the new wide-field spectroscopy facility for the prime focus of the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, Spain. Its fibre positioner is essential for the accurate place…
