On-sky Fibre-Target-Alignment of the 4MOST instrument: calibration and performance
Roland Winkler, Weijia Sun, Daniel Sablowski +9
The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) is a new wide-field, fibre-fed spectroscopic survey facility for the VISTA telescope at ESOs Paranal Observatory. The instr…
4MOST Scientific Operations
C. J. Walcher, M. Banerji, C. Battistini +65
The 4MOST instrument is a multi-object spectrograph that will address Galactic and extragalactic science cases simultaneously by observing targets from a large number of different…
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…
Sphinx: a massively multiplexed fiber positioner for MSE
Scott Smedley, Gabriella Baker, Rebecca Brown +6
In this paper we present the Australian Astronomical Observatory's concept design for Sphinx - a fiber positioned with 4332 spines on a 7.77mm pitch for CFHT's Mauna Kea Spectrosco…
AAO Starbugs: software control and associated algorithms
Nuria P. F. Lorente, Minh V. Vuong, Keith Shortridge +7
The Australian Astronomical Observatory's TAIPAN instrument deploys 150 Starbug robots to position optical fibres to accuracies of 0.3 arcsec, on a 32 cm glass field plate on the f…
Target allocation yields for massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys with fibers
Will Saunders, Scott Smedley, Peter Gillingham +3
We present Simulated Annealing fiber-to-target allocation simulations for the proposed DESI and 4MOST massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys, and for both Poisson and realisti…
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…
