Exploring the NRO Opportunity for a Hubble-sized Wide-field Near-IR Space Telescope -- NEW WFIRST
Alan Dressler, David Spergel, Matt Mountain +24
We discuss scientific, technical and programmatic issues related to the use of an NRO 2.4m telescope for the WFIRST initiative of the 2010 Decadal Survey. We show that this impleme…
Detectors and cryostat design for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)
James E. Gunn, Michael Carr, Stephen A. Smee +20
We describe the conceptual design of the camera cryostats, detectors, and detector readout electronics for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being developed for the Subaru…
The metrology cameras for Subaru PFS and FMOS
Shiang-Yu Wang, Yen-Shan Hu, Chi-Hung Yan +11
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new multi-fiber spectrograph on Subaru telescope. PFS will cover around 1.4 degree diameter field with ~2400 fibers. To ensure precise posit…
Prime Focus Spectrograph - Subaru's future -
Hajime Sugai, Hiroshi Karoji, Naruhisa Takato +51
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) of the Subaru Measurement of Images and Redshifts (SuMIRe) project has been endorsed by Japanese community as one of the main future instruments…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Data Characterization and Map Making
Rolando Dünner, Matthew Hasselfield, Tobias A. Marriage +71
We present a description of the data reduction and mapmaking pipeline used for the 2008 observing season of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data presented here at 148 GH…
New Dark Matter Detectors using DNA or RNA for Nanometer Tracking
Andrzej Drukier, Katherine Freese, Alejandro Lopez +4
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may constitute most of the matter in the Universe. The ability to detect the directionality of recoil nuclei will considerably facilita…
