LSST optical beam simulator
J. A. Tyson, J. Sasian, K. Gilmore +6
We describe a camera beam simulator for the LSST which is capable of illuminating a 60mm field at f/1.2 with realistic astronomical scenes, enabling studies of CCD astrometric and…
ANTARES: A Prototype Transient Broker System
Abhijit Saha, Thomas Matheson, Richard Snodgrass +5
The Arizona-NOAO Temporal Analysis and Response to Events System (ANTARES) is a joint project of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory and the Department of Computer Science a…
Studying focal ratio degradation of optical fibers for Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph
Jesulino Bispo dos Santos, Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, James Gunn +9
Focal Ration Degradation (FRD) is a change in light angular distribution caused by fiber optics. FRD is important to fiber-fed, spectroscopic astronomical systems because it can ca…
Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System (FOCCoS) for PFS/Subaru
Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, Lígia Souza de Oliveira, Márcio V. de Arruda +29
FOCCoS, Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System, has the main function of capturing the direct light from the focal plane of Subaru Telescope using optical fibers, each one with a…
Developing Engineering Model Cobra fiber positioners for the Subaru Telescope Prime Focus Spectrometer
Charles Fisher, Chaz Morantz, David Braun +19
The Cobra fiber positioner is being developed by the California Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) instrum…
Volume phase holographic gratings for the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph: performance measurements of the prototype grating set
Robert Barkhouser, James Arns, James E. Gunn
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a major instrument under development for the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. Four identical spectrograph modules are located in a room above one Nasmy…
