Miniaturized Shack-Hartmann Wavefront-Sensors for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Belen Alcalde, Samuel Richards +4
The ability to position multiple miniaturized wavefront sensors precisely over large focal surfaces are advantageous to multi-object adaptive optics. The Australian Astronomical Ob…
Field Target Allocation and Routing Algorithms for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Nuria P. F. Lorente, Christophe Satorre +3
Starbugs are miniaturised robotic devices that position optical fibres over a telescope's focal plane in parallel operation for high multiplex spectroscopic surveys. The key advant…
Beating the Heat! Automated Characterization of Piezoelectric Tubes for Starbugs
Rafal Piersiak, Michael Goodwin, James Gilbert +1
The Australian Astronomical Observatory has extensively prototyped a new robotic positioner to allow simultaneous positioning of optical fibers at the focal plane called 'Starbugs'…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Cubism and covariance, putting round pegs into square holes
R. Sharp, J. T. Allen, L. M. R. Fogarty +46
We present a methodology for the regularisation and combination of sparse sampled and irregularly gridded observations from fibre-optic multi-object integral-field spectroscopy. Th…
