The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) Spectrographs
J. C. Wilson, F. R. Hearty, M. F. Skrutskie +86
We describe the design and performance of the near-infrared (1.51--1.70 micron), fiber-fed, multi-object (300 fibers), high resolution (R = lambda/delta lambda ~ 22,500) spectrogra…
MEAD: Data Reduction Pipeline for ALES Integral Field Spectrograph and LBTI Thermal Infrared Calibration Unit
Zackery Briesemeister, Andrew J. Skemer, Jordan M. Stone +6
We present the data reduction pipeline, MEAD, for Arizona Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (ALES), the first thermal infrared integral field spectrograph designed for high-contr…
ALES: Overview and Upgrades
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Jordan Stone +4
The Arizona Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (ALES) is the world's first AO-fed thermal infrared integral field spectrograph, mounted inside the Large Binocular Telescope Interf…
On-Sky Operations with the ALES Integral Field Spectrograph
Jordan M. Stone, Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz +5
The integral field spectrograph configuration of the LMIRCam science camera within the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) facilitates 2 to 5 m spectroscopy of direc…
iLocater: A Diffraction-limited Doppler Spectrometer for the Large Binocular Telescope
Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, David King +31
We are developing a stable and precise spectrograph for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) named "iLocater." The instrument comprises three principal components: a cross-dispersed…
First Light with ALES: A 2-5 Micron Adaptive Optics Integral Field Spectrograph for the LBT
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Manny Montoya +9
Integral field spectrographs are an important technology for exoplanet imaging, due to their ability to take spectra in a high-contrast environment, and improve planet detection se…
A Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Survey at the SDSS 2.5-meter Telescope?
Michael F. Skrutskie, John C. Wilson
We are posting this 10-year-old white paper to support an upcoming survey description paper for the SDSS-III Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) led by PI Dr. Steve…
The Data Reduction Pipeline for the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
David L. Nidever, Jon A. Holtzman, Carlos Allende Prieto +17
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III, explores the stellar populations of the Milky Way using the Sloan 2.5…
High contrast imaging at the LBT: the LEECH exoplanet imaging survey
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Simone Esposito +34
In Spring 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its 130-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) atop Mt Graham, Arizona. This surv…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
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…
