SDSS-V Algorithms: Fast, Collision-Free Trajectory Planning for Heavily Overlapping Robotic Fiber Positioners
Conor Sayres, José R. Sánchez-Gallego, Michael R. Blanton +8
Robotic fiber positioner (RFP) arrays are becoming heavily adopted in wide field massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey instruments. RFP arrays decrease nightly operational ove…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) Spectrographs
J. C. Wilson, F. R. Hearty, M. F. Skrutskie +86
We describe the design and performance of the near-infrared (1.51--1.70 micron), fiber-fed, multi-object (300 fibers), high resolution (R = lambda/delta lambda ~ 22,500) spectrogra…
The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library
D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
SDSS-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Gail Zasowski, Hans-Walter Rix +47
SDSS-V will be an all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of over six million objects. It is designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, trace the emergence of the chemical…
Affordable Digital Planetariums with WorldWide Telescope
Philip Rosenfield, Andrew Connolly, Jonathan Fay +3
Digital planetariums can provide a broader range of educational experiences than the more classical planetariums that use star-balls. This is because of their ability to project im…
