SPIRou: nIR velocimetry & spectropolarimetry at the CFHT
J. -F. Donati, D. Kouach, C. Moutou +63
This paper presents an overview of SPIRou, the new-generation near-infrared spectropolarimeter / precision velocimeter recently installed on the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescop…
SPIRou: a nIR spectropolarimeter / high-precision velocimeter for the CFHT
JF Donati, D Kouach, M Lacombe +26
SPIRou is a near-infrared (nIR) spectropolarimeter / velocimeter for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), that will focus on two forefront science topics, (i) the quest for h…
On-sky vibration environment for the Gemini Planet Imager and mitigation effort
Markus Hartung, Tom Hayward, Les Saddlemyer +20
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) entered on-sky commissioning and had its first-light at the Gemini South (GS) telescope in November 2013. GPI is an extreme adaptive optics (XAO), hi…
On-instrument wavefront sensor design for the TMT infrared imaging spectrograph (IRIS) update
Jennifer Dunn, Vlad Reshetov, Jenny Atwood +6
The first light instrument on the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project will be the InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). IRIS will be mounted on a bottom port of the facility AO in…
Characterization of the Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector of the Gemini Planet Imager
Pascale Hibon, Sandrine Thomas, Jennifer Dunn +18
An Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) uses a double-prism arrangement to nullify the vertical chromatic dispersion introduced by the atmosphere at non-zero zenith distances. Th…
The Integral Field Spectrograph for the Gemini Planet Imager
James E. Larkin, Jeffrey K. Chilcote, Theodore Aliado +31
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a complex optical system designed to directly detect the self-emission of young planets within two arcseconds of their host stars. After suppressi…
Gemini Planet Imager One Button Approach
Jennifer Dunn, Dan Kerley, Leslie Saddlemyer +9
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is an "extreme" adaptive optics coronagraph system that is now on the Gemini South telescope in Chile. This instrument is composed of three different…
Gemini Planet Imager integration to the Gemini South telescope software environment
Fredrik T. Rantakyrö, Andrew Cardwell, Jeffrey Chilcote +18
The Gemini Planet Imager is an extreme AO instrument with an integral field spectrograph (IFS) operating in Y, J, H, and K bands. Both the Gemini telescope and the GPI instrument a…
Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations V: Astrometry and Distortion
Quinn M. Konopacky, Sandrine J. Thomas, Bruce A. Macintosh +24
We present the results of both laboratory and on sky astrometric characterization of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). This characterization includes measurement of the pixel scale o…
SPIRou: the near-infrared spectropolarimeter/high-precision velocimeter for the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope
Étienne Artigau, Driss Kouach, Jean-François Donati +30
SPIRou is a near-IR échelle spectropolarimeter and high-precision velocimeter under construction as a next-generation instrument for the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope. It is desig…
An Inexpensive Liquid Crystal Spectropolarimeter for the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory Plaskett Telescope
D. Monin, D. Bohlender, T. Hardy +2
A new, inexpensive polarimetric unit has been constructed for the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) 1.8-m Plaskett telescope. It is implemented as a plug-in module for the t…
