Modelling the Transfer Function for the Dark Energy Survey
C. Chang, M. T. Busha, R. H. Wechsler +40
We present a forward-modelling simulation framework designed to model the data products from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). This forward-model process can be thought of as a transfe…
Learning from 25 years of the extensible N-Dimensional Data Format
Tim Jenness, David S. Berry, Malcolm J. Currie +8
The extensible N-Dimensional Data Format (NDF) was designed and developed in the late 1980s to provide a data model suitable for use in a variety of astronomy data processing appli…
Alternative approach to precision narrow-angle astrometry for Antarctic long baseline interferometry
Y. Kok, M. J. Ireland, A. C. Rizzuto +4
The conventional approach to high-precision narrow-angle astrometry using a long baseline interferometer is to directly measure the fringe packet separation of a target and a nearb…
PRAXIS: low thermal emission high efficiency OH suppressed fibre spectrograph
Robert Content, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Simon Ellis +12
PRAXIS is a second generation instrument that follows on from GNOSIS, which was the first instrument using fibre Bragg gratings for OH background suppression. The Bragg gratings re…
The Starfish Diagram: Visualising Data Within the Context of Survey Samples
Iraklis S. Konstantopoulos
As astronomy becomes increasingly invested in large surveys, the ample representation of an individual target becomes a significant challenge. Tabulations of basic properties can c…
Miniaturized Shack-Hartmann Wavefront-Sensors for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Belen Alcalde, Samuel Richards +4
The ability to position multiple miniaturized wavefront sensors precisely over large focal surfaces are advantageous to multi-object adaptive optics. The Australian Astronomical Ob…
Field Target Allocation and Routing Algorithms for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Nuria P. F. Lorente, Christophe Satorre +3
Starbugs are miniaturised robotic devices that position optical fibres over a telescope's focal plane in parallel operation for high multiplex spectroscopic surveys. The key advant…
KOSMOS and COSMOS: New facility instruments for the NOAO 4-meter telescopes
Paul Martini, J. Elias, S. Points +19
We describe the design, construction and measured performance of the Kitt Peak Ohio State Multi-Object Spectrograph (KOSMOS) for the 4-m Mayall telescope and the Cerro Tololo Ohio…
Photonic lantern behaviour and implications for instrument design
Anthony Horton, Robert Content, Simon Ellis +1
Photonic lanterns are an important enabling technology for astrophotonics with a wide range of potential applications including fibre Bragg grating OH suppression, integrated photo…
Beating the Heat! Automated Characterization of Piezoelectric Tubes for Starbugs
Rafal Piersiak, Michael Goodwin, James Gilbert +1
The Australian Astronomical Observatory has extensively prototyped a new robotic positioner to allow simultaneous positioning of optical fibers at the focal plane called 'Starbugs'…
A wide field corrector with loss-less and purely passive atmospheric dispersion correction
Peter Gillingham, Will Saunders
A 2.5 degree field diameter corrector lens design for the Cassegrain focus of the VISTA 4 meter telescope is presented. It comprises four single elements of glasses with high UV tr…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Cubism and covariance, putting round pegs into square holes
R. Sharp, J. T. Allen, L. M. R. Fogarty +46
We present a methodology for the regularisation and combination of sparse sampled and irregularly gridded observations from fibre-optic multi-object integral-field spectroscopy. Th…
Efficient and affordable catadioptric spectrograph designs for 4MOST and Hector
Will Saunders
Spectrograph costs have become the limiting factor in multiplexed fiber-based spectroscopic instruments, because tens of millions of resolution elements (spectral x spatial) are no…
Target allocation yields for massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys with fibers
Will Saunders, Scott Smedley, Peter Gillingham +3
We present Simulated Annealing fiber-to-target allocation simulations for the proposed DESI and 4MOST massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys, and for both Poisson and realisti…
Prime focus wide-field corrector designs with lossless atmospheric dispersion correction
Will Saunders, Peter Gillingham, Greg Smith +2
Wide-Field Corrector designs are presented for the Blanco and Mayall telescopes, the CFHT and the AAT. The designs are Terezibh-style, with 5 or 6 lenses, and modest negative optic…
Photometric redshift analysis in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
C. Sánchez, M. Carrasco Kind, H. Lin +74
We present results from a study of the photometric redshift performance of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using the early data from a Science Verification (SV) period of observation…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): autoz spectral redshift measurements, confidence and errors
I. K. Baldry, M. Alpaslan, A. E. Bauer +17
The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has obtained spectra of over 230000 targets using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. To homogenise the redshift measurements and improve the…
A Demonstration of Wavefront Sensing and Mirror Phasing from the Image Domain
Benjamin Pope, Nick Cvetojevic, Anthony Cheetham +3
In astronomy and microscopy, distortions in the wavefront affect the dynamic range of a high contrast imaging system. These aberrations are either imposed by a turbulent medium suc…
