Visible camera cryostat design and performance for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)
Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski +13
We describe the design and performance of the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) visible camera cryostats. SuMIRe PFS is a massively multi-plexed ground-based spectrograph consi…
A Novel Reflectometer for Relative Reflectance Measurements of CCDs
Murdock Hart, Robert H. Barkhouser, James E. Gunn +1
The high quantum efficiencies (QE) of backside illuminated charge coupled devices (CCD) has ushered in the age of the large scale astronomical survey. The QE of these devices can b…
Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) for the Subaru Telescope: Overview, recent progress, and future perspectives
Naoyuki Tamura, Naruhisa Takato, Atsushi Shimono +97
PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph), a next generation facility instrument on the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope, is a very wide-field, massively multiplexed, optical and near-infrared spec…
Optical Design of the SuMIRe PFS Spectrograph
Sandrine Pascal, Sebastien Vives, Robert Barkhouser +1
The SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), developed for the 8-m class SUBARU telescope, will consist of four identical spectrographs, each receiving 600 fibers from a 2394 fiber r…
The near infrared camera for the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph
Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski +10
We present the detailed design of the near infrared camera for the SuMIRe (Subaru Measurement of Images and Redshifts) Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being developed for the Subaru…
Volume phase holographic gratings for the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph: performance measurements of the prototype grating set
Robert Barkhouser, James Arns, James E. Gunn
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a major instrument under development for the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. Four identical spectrograph modules are located in a room above one Nasmy…
