The HETDEX Instrumentation: Hobby-Eberly Telescope Wide Field Upgrade and VIRUS
Gary J. Hill, Hanshin Lee, Phillip J. MacQueen +46
The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is undertaking a blind wide-field low-resolution spectroscopic survey of 540 square degrees of sky to identify and…
LRS2: the new facility low resolution integral field spectrograph for the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Taylor S. Chonis, Gary J. Hill, Hanshin Lee +2
The second generation Low Resolution Spectrograph (LRS2) is a new facility instrument for the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET). Based on the design of the Visible Integral-field Replic…
The Influence of Motion and Stress on Optical Fibers
Jeremy D. Murphy, Gary J. Hill, Phillip J. MacQueen +13
We report on extensive testing carried out on the optical fibers for the VIRUS instrument. The primary result of this work explores how 10+ years of simulated wear on a VIRUS fiber…
