Using Gas Kinematics To Constrain 3D Models of Disks: IC 2531

Arthur Eigenbrot, Matthew Bershady

We use deep, longslit spectra of the nearby edge on galaxy IC 2531 to obtain gas kinematics out to 5 radial scale-lengths (40 kpc) and 4 vertical scale-heights (1.7 kpc). The large…

Impact of surface-polish on the angular and wavelength dependence of fiber focal ratio degradation

Arthur D. Eigenbrot, Matthew A. Bershady, Corey M. Wood

We present measurements of how multimode fiber focal-ratio degradation (FRD) and throughput vary with levels of fiber surface polish from 60 to 0.5 micron grit. Measurements used f…
