Binospec: A Wide-field Imaging Spectrograph for the MMT
Daniel Fabricant, Robert Fata, Harland Epps +14
Binospec is a high throughput, 370 to 1000 nm, imaging spectrograph that addresses two adjacent 8' by 15' fields of view. Binospec was commissioned in late 2017 at the f/5 focus of…
The faint end of the Centaurus A satellite luminosity function
D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, P. N. Bennet +9
The Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) is constructing a wide-field map of the resolved stellar populations in the extended halos of these two nearby, prom…
A tidally disrupting dwarf galaxy in the halo of NGC 253
Elisa Toloba, David Sand, Kristine Spekkens +7
We report the discovery of Scl-MM-Dw2, a new dwarf galaxy at a projected separation of 50 kpc from NGC 253, as part of the PISCeS (Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and S…
The extended halo of Centaurus A: uncovering satellites, streams, and substructures
D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, K. Spekkens +7
We present the widest-field resolved stellar map to date of the closest ( Mpc) massive elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A; Cen A), extending out to a projected galac…
Resolving the extended stellar halos of nearby galaxies: the wide-field PISCeS survey
D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, N. Caldwell +6
In the wide-field Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS), we investigate the resolved stellar halos of two nearby galaxies (the elliptical Centaurus A and the…
Data Reduction Pipeline for the MMT and Magellan Infrared Spectrograph
Igor Chilingarian, Yuri Beletsky, Sean Moran +3
We describe the new spectroscopic data reduction pipeline for the multi-object MMT/Magellan Infrared Spectrograph. The pipeline is implemented in idl as a stand-alone package and i…
