The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): Technical Overview
Guillermo A. Blanc, Niv Drory, Sebastián F. Sánchez +59
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is an ultra-wide integral field spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, and a sample of gala…
Update on the Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS)
Maren Cosens, Nicholas P. Konidaris, Gwen C. Rudie +21
The Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS) will be a next generation multi-object (MOS) and integral field spectrograph (IFS) for the 6.5m Magellan telescopes at Las…
Update on the slicer IFU for the Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS)
Maren Cosens, Patricio Schurter, Nicholas P. Konidaris +18
The Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS) is a planned next generation multi-object and integral field spectrograph for the 6.5m Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas…
Using chromatic covariance to correct for scintillation noise in ground-based spectrophotometry
Jason E. Williams, Nicholas P. Konidaris
Atmospheric scintillation is one of the largest sources of error in ground-based spectrophotometry, reducing the precision of astrophysical signals extracted from the time-series o…
A Precision Cryogenic Positioning Stage for Detector Dithering and Flexure Compensation
Stephen A. Smee, Stephen C. Hope, Randolph P. Hammond +20
This paper presents the design and technical progress of a precision X-Y stage for detector dithering and flexure compensation. The stage is being developed for use in the Magellan…
Telescope control software and proto-model siderostat for the SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper
Hojae Ahn, Florian Briegel, Jimin Han +19
The fifth Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a wide-field integral field unit (IFU) survey that uses an array of four 160 mm fixed telescopes with sider…
