Characterization and Optimization of Skipper CCDs for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Andrés A. Plazas Malagón +14
We present results from the characterization and optimization of six Skipper CCDs for use in a prototype focal plane for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). We tested eigh…
Design of a Skipper CCD Focal Plane for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Marco Bonati +14
We present the development of a Skipper Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) focal plane prototype for the SOAR Telescope Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). This mosaic focal plane consist…
The Dark Energy Camera
B. Flaugher, H. T. Diehl, K. Honscheid +115
The Dark Energy Camera is a new imager with a 2.2-degree diameter field of view mounted at the prime focus of the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena,…
CHIRON - A Fiber Fed Spectrometer for Precise Radial Velocities
Andrei Tokovinin, Debra A. Fischer, Marco Bonati +5
The CHIRON optical high-resolution echelle spectrometer was commissioned at the 1.5m telescope at CTIO in 2011. The instrument was designed for high throughput and stability, with…
DECam integration tests on telescope simulator
M. Soares-Santos, J. Annis, M. Bonati +31
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a next generation optical survey aimed at measuring the expansion history of the universe using four probes: weak gravitational lensing, galaxy clus…
The Automated Palomar 60-Inch Telescope
S. Bradley Cenko, Derek B. Fox, Dae-Sik Moon +13
We have converted the Palomar 60-inch telescope (P60) from a classical night assistant-operated telescope to a fully robotic facility. The automated system, which has been operatio…
