Design evolution for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
Will Saunders, Corentin Cudennec, Roland Bacon +4
WST is proposed as the next large ESO project to follow ELT, combining Multi-Object Spectroscopy and Integral Field Spectroscopy. Each mode offers order-of-magnitude gains over cur…
Progress of the design of the 12-m optical, Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST)
P. Dierickx, G. Gausachs, C. Cudennec +16
The Wide-Field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a 12-m class, Alt-Az optical telescope providing two simultaneous foci, 2 degrees and 3 by 3 arc minutes respectively, for Multi-Obj…
WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy
Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +52
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a dedicated 12-m spectroscopic survey facility designed to address some of the most important questions in astrophysic…
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: Telescope structure FE analyses
Simone D'Auria, Vincenzo Cianniello, Ciro Del Vecchio +6
The Altitude Structure of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is designed to support and position both primary and secondary mirrors, made of structural steel. Due to its…
Veloce Rosso: Australia's new precision radial velocity spectrograph
James Gilbert, Christoph Bergmann, Gabe Bloxham +24
Veloce is an ultra-stable fibre-fed R4 echelle spectrograph for the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. The first channel to be commissioned, Veloce 'Rosso', utilises multiple low-co…
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…
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…
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 multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review II: Commissioning, operation and overall performance
Benoit Neichel, François Rigaut, Fabrice Vidal +30
The Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System - GeMS, a facility instrument mounted on the Gemini South telescope, delivers a uniform, near diffraction limited images at near i…
Gems first science results
Benoit Neichel, Fabrice Vidal, Francois Rigaut +19
After 101 nights of commissioning, the Gemini MCAO system (GeMS) started science operations in December 2012. After a brief reminder on GeMS specificities, we describe the overall…
Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review I: Design, trade-offs and integration
Francois Rigaut, Benoit Neichel, Maxime Boccas +27
The Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) at the Gemini South telescope in Cerro Pach{ó}n is the first sodium-based multi-Laser Guide Star (LGS) adaptive optics syst…
