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…
GNOSIS: the first instrument to use fibre Bragg gratings for OH suppression
Christopher Q. Trinh, Simon C. Ellis, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +20
GNOSIS is a prototype astrophotonic instrument that utilizes OH suppression fibres consisting of fibre Bragg gratings and photonic lanterns to suppress the 103 brightest atmospheri…
Adaptive Optics Simulations for Siding Spring
Michael Goodwin, Charles Jenkins, Andrew Lambert
Using an observational derived model optical turbulence profile (model-OTP) we have investigated the performance of Adaptive Optics (AO) at Siding Spring Observatory (SSO), Austral…
Characterisation of the Optical Turbulence at Siding Spring
Michael Goodwin, Charles Jenkins, Andrew Lambert
Measurements of the optical turbulence profile above Siding Spring Observatory were conducted during 2005 and 2006. This effort was largely motivated by the need to predict the sta…
Long-term stability of fibre-optic transmission for multi-object spectroscopy
R. Sharp, S. Brough, R. D. Cannon
We present an analysis of the long-term stability of fibre-optic transmission properties for fibre optics in astronomy. Data from six years of operation of the AAOmega multi-object…
First starlight spectrum captured using an integrated photonic micro-spectrograph
N. Cvetojevic, N. Jovanovic, C. Betters +4
Photonic technologies have received growing consideration for incorporation into next-generation astronomical instrumentation, owing to their miniature footprint and inherent robus…
Discovery of planetary nebulae using predictive mid-infrared diagnostics
Quentin A. Parker, Martin Cohen, Milorad Stupar +6
We demonstrate a newly developed mid-infrared planetary nebula (PN) selection technique. It is designed to enable efficient searches for obscured, previously unknown, PN candidates…
HexPak and GradPak: variable-pitch dual-head IFUs for the WIYN 3.5m Telescope Bench Spectrograph
Corey M. Wood, Matthew A. Bershady, Arthur D. Eigenbrot +6
We describe the design, construction, and expected performance of two new fiber integral field units (IFUs) --- HexPak and GradPak --- for the WIYN 3.5m Telescope Nasmyth focus and…
'MOHAWK' : a 4000-fiber positioner for DESpec
Will Saunders, Greg Smith, James Gilbert +6
We present a concept for a 4000-fibre positioner for DESpec, based on the Echidna 'tilting spine' technology. The DESpec focal plane is 450mm across and curved, and the required pi…
The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
III Collaboration, Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff +224
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS…
VAST: An ASKAP Survey for Variables and Slow Transients
Tara Murphy, Shami Chatterjee, David L. Kaplan +36
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radio wavelengths. In this paper we present V…
Suppression of the near-infrared OH night sky lines with fibre Bragg gratings - first results
S. C. Ellis, J. Bland-Hawthorn, J. Lawrence +20
The background noise between 1 and 1.8 microns in ground-based instruments is dominated by atmospheric emission from hydroxyl molecules. We have built and commissioned a new instru…
Compact continuum source-finding for next generation radio surveys
Paul J Hancock, Tara Murphy, Bryan M Gaensler +2
We present a detailed analysis of four of the most widely used radio source finding packages in radio astronomy, and a program being developed for the Australian Square Kilometer A…
Laser frequency comb techniques for precise astronomical spectroscopy
Michael T. Murphy, Clayton R. Locke, Philip S. Light +2
Precise astronomical spectroscopic analyses routinely assume that individual pixels in charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have uniform sensitivity to photons. Intra-pixel sensitivity (I…
