Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Allyson Brodzeller, Kyle Dawson, Stephen Bailey +44
Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a four-fold increase in the number of known quasars. High accuracy quasa…
The MegaMapper: A Stage-5 Spectroscopic Instrument Concept for the Study of Inflation and Dark Energy
David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering +86
In this white paper, we present the MegaMapper concept. The MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts a…
The Robotic Multi-Object Focal Plane System of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)
Joseph Harry Silber, Parker Fagrelius, Kevin Fanning +97
A system of 5,020 robotic fiber positioners was installed in 2019 on the Mayall Telescope, at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The robots automatically re-target their optical fiber…
Atmospheric extinction properties above Mauna Kea from the Nearby Supernova Factory spectro-photometric data set
C. Buton, Y. Copin, G. Aldering +30
We present a new atmospheric extinction curve for Mauna Kea spanning 3200--9700 Å. It is the most comprehensive to date, being based on some 4285 standard star spectra obtained on…
