The WEAVE acquisition and guiding software: pattern recognition-based acquisition and multi-fibre guiding
Emanuel Gafton, Gavin B. Dalton, Don Carlos Abrams +19
We present the architecture, implementation, and on-sky validation of the fully automated acquisition and guiding system (AG) developed for the WEAVE instrument on the William Hers…
The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: Expanding WEAVE's Reach to Bright and Low-Surface-Density Targets with a Novel Observing Mode
Thomas Hajnik, Nicholas A. Walton, Giuseppe D'Ago +28
Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in increased observational o…
The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212
WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…
Optimisation of the WEAVE target assignment algorithm
Sarah Hughes, Gavin Dalton, Daniel Smith +12
WEAVE is the new wide-field spectroscopic facility for the prime focus of the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, Spain. Its fibre positioner is essential for the accurate plac…
SMASH - Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Alistair R. Walker +36
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are unique local laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of small galaxies in exquisite detail. The Survey of the…
SMASH 1: a very faint globular cluster disrupting in the outer reaches of the LMC?
Nicolas F. Martin, Valentin Jungbluth, David L. Nidever +20
We present the discovery of a very faint stellar system, SMASH 1, that is potentially a satellite of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Found within the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar H…
