EMIR, the near-infrared camera and multi-object spectrograph for the GTC
F. Garzón, M. Balcells, J. Gallego +18
We present EMIR, a powerful near-infrared (NIR) camera and multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of the 10.4 m GTC. EMIR was commissioned in mid-2016 and i…
Instrumentation for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope
Suzanne Ramsay, Michele Cirasuolo, Paola Amico +21
Design and construction of the instruments for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) began in 2015. We present here a brief overview of the status of the ELT Instrumentation Plan.…
The adaptive optics modes for HARMONI: from Classical to Laser Assisted Tomographic AO
B. Neichel, T. Fusco, J. -F. Sauvage +25
HARMONI is a visible and NIR integral field spectrograph, providing the E-ELT's core spectroscopic capability at first light. HARMONI will work at the diffraction limit of the E-EL…
FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
Alan M. Watson, José A. Acosta-Pulido, Luis C. Álvarez-Núñez +27
FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrometer that is being built for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA will…
Revisiting the Impact of Atmospheric Dispersion and Differential Refraction on Widefield Multiobject Spectroscopic Observations. From VLT/VIMOS to Next Generation Instruments
Rubén Sánchez-Janssen, Steffen Mieske, Fernando Selman +5
(Abridged) Atmospheric dispersion and field differential refraction impose severe constraints on widefield MOS observations. Flux reduction and spectral distortions must be minimis…
Infrared extinction in the Inner Milky Way through the red clump giants
Carlos González-Fernández, Andrés Asensio Ramos, Francisco Garzón +2
While the shape of the extinction curve on the infrared is considered to be set and the extinction ratios between infrared bands are usually taken to be approximately constant, a r…
