A multi-object, multi-field spectrometer and imager for a European ELT
Chris Evans, Colin Cunningham, Eli Atad-Ettedgui +11
One of the highlights of the European ELT Science Case book is the study of resolved stellar populations, potentially out to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A European ELT would ena…
GMOS IFU observations of the stellar and gaseous kinematics in the centre of NGC 1068
Joris Gerssen, Jeremy Allington-Smith, Bryan W. Miller +2
We present a datacube covering the central 10 arcsec of the archetypal active galaxy NGC 1068 over a wavelength range 4200 to 5400 Angstrom. obtained during the commissioning of th…
Measurement of Throughput Variation Across A Large Format Volume-Phase Holographic Grating
Naoyuki Tamura, Graham J. Murray, Ray M. Sharples +2
In this paper, we report measurements of diffraction efficiency and angular dispersion for a large format (~ 25 cm diameter) Volume-Phase Holographic (VPH) grating optimized for ne…
GMOS Integral Field Spectroscopy of a Merging System with Enhanced Balmer Absorption
Mark Swinbank, Michael Balogh, Richard Bower +4
In this paper we present the three dimensional dynamics of the galaxy SDSS J101345.39+011613.66, selected for its unusually strong Balmer absorption lines (Wo(H-delta)=7.5A). Using…
Design and construction of the IMACS-IFU, a 2000-element integral field unit
J. Schmoll, G. N. Dodsworth, R. Content +1
The IMACS-IFU is an Integral Field Unit built for the IMACS spectrograph at the Magellan-I-Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. It consists of two rectangular fields of 5 by 7 ar…
Galaxies Under the Cosmic Microscope: A GMOS Study of the Lensed Disk-Galaxy #289 in A2218
A. M. Swinbank, J. Smith, R. G. Bower +7
In this letter, we exploit the gravitational potential of the rich cluster A2218 as a magnifying glass. We demonstrate that the magnification due to the cluster allows us to observ…
