Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini-South: Instrument performance and integration, first science, and next steps
V. M. Kalari, R. J. Diaz, G. Robertson +57
The Gemini South telescope is now equipped with a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST (the Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph). This instrument provides high-eff…
High-Resolution Dayside Spectroscopy of WASP-189b: Detection of Iron during the GHOST/Gemini South System Verification Run
Emily K. Deibert, Adam B. Langeveld, Mitchell E. Young +30
With high equilibrium temperatures and tidally locked rotation, ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are unique laboratories within which to probe extreme atmospheric physics and chemistry. I…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results III: Characterizing an iron-poor damped Lyman system
Trystyn A. M. Berg, Christian R. Hayes, Stefano Cristiani +20
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is a new echelle spectrograph available on the Gemini-South telescope as of Semester 2024A. We present the first high resolu…

Alan W. McConnachie, Christian R. Hayes, J. Gordon Robertson +46
The Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) is a fiber-fed spectrograph system on the Gemini South telescope that provides simultaneous wavelength coverage from 348 - 1…
Probing the early Milky Way with GHOST spectra of an extremely metal-poor star in the Galactic disk
Anya Dovgal, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +31
Pristine_183.6849+04.8619 (P1836849) is an extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]) star on a prograde orbit confined to the Galactic disk. Such stars are rare and may have their…
SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1: An R-Process Enhanced, Actinide-Boost, Extremely Metal-Poor star observed with GHOST
Vinicius M. Placco, Felipe Almeida-Fernandes, Erika M. Holmbeck +33
We report on the chemo-dynamical analysis of SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1, an extremely metal-poor halo star enhanced in elements formed by the rapid neutron-capture process. This sta…
