SAMI Automated Plug Plate Configuration
Nuria P. F. Lorente, Tony Farrell, Michael Goodwin
The Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) is a prototype wide-field system at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) which uses a plug-plate to mount its 13 x 61…
First Science with SAMI: A Serendipitously Discovered Galactic Wind in ESO 185-G031
Lisa M. R. Fogarty, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Scott M. Croom +27
We present the first scientific results from the Sydney-AAO Multi-Object IFS (SAMI) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This unique instrument deploys 13 fused fibre bundles (hexabu…
Adaptive Optics Simulations for Siding Spring
Michael Goodwin, Charles Jenkins, Andrew Lambert
Using an observational derived model optical turbulence profile (model-OTP) we have investigated the performance of Adaptive Optics (AO) at Siding Spring Observatory (SSO), Austral…
Characterisation of the Optical Turbulence at Siding Spring
Michael Goodwin, Charles Jenkins, Andrew Lambert
Measurements of the optical turbulence profile above Siding Spring Observatory were conducted during 2005 and 2006. This effort was largely motivated by the need to predict the sta…
'MOHAWK' : a 4000-fiber positioner for DESpec
Will Saunders, Greg Smith, James Gilbert +6
We present a concept for a 4000-fibre positioner for DESpec, based on the Echidna 'tilting spine' technology. The DESpec focal plane is 450mm across and curved, and the required pi…
