The Science Performance of the Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph
Alan W. McConnachie, Christian R. Hayes, J. Gordon Robertson +46
The Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) is a fiber-fed spectrograph system on the Gemini South telescope that provides simultaneous wavelength coverage from 348 - 1…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results: Identifying a new chemically peculiar star in Reticulum II
Christian R. Hayes, Kim A. Venn, Fletcher Waller +79
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is the newest high resolution spectrograph to be developed for a large aperture telescope, recently deployed and commissione…
4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Book 2018
Alexis Hill, Nicolas Flagey, Alan McConnachie +122
(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the…
Beating the Heat! Automated Characterization of Piezoelectric Tubes for Starbugs
Rafal Piersiak, Michael Goodwin, James Gilbert +1
The Australian Astronomical Observatory has extensively prototyped a new robotic positioner to allow simultaneous positioning of optical fibers at the focal plane called 'Starbugs'…
Starbugs: all-singing, all-dancing fibre positioning robots
James Gilbert, Michael Goodwin, Jeroen Heijmans +7
Starbugs are miniature piezoelectric 'walking' robots with the ability to simultaneously position many optical fibres across a telescope's focal plane. Their simple design incorpor…
'MOHAWK' : a 4000-fiber positioner for DESpec
Will Saunders, Greg Smith, James Gilbert +6
We present a concept for a 4000-fibre positioner for DESpec, based on the Echidna 'tilting spine' technology. The DESpec focal plane is 450mm across and curved, and the required pi…
The Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) for Subaru Telescope
Masahiko Kimura, Toshinori Maihara, Fumihide Iwamuro +39
Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) is the first near-infrared instrument with a wide field of view capable of acquiring spectra simultaneously from up to 400 objects. It has be…
