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…
Medium-band observation of the neutrino emitting blazar, TXS 0506+056
Sungyong Hwang, Myungshin Im, Yoon Chan Taak +15
TXS 0506+056 is a blazar that has been recently identified as the counterpart of the neutrino event IceCube-170922A. Understanding blazar type of TXS 0506+056 is important to const…
Systems engineering applied to ELT instrumentation: The GMACS case
D. M. Faes, A. Souza, C. Froning +14
An important tool for the development of the next generation of extremely large telescopes (ELTs) is a robust Systems Engineering (SE) methodology. GMACS is a first-generation mult…
Characterization of the Reflectivity of Various Black Materials
Jennifer L. Marshall, Patrick Williams, Jean-Philippe Rheault +3
We present total and specular reflectance measurements of various materials that are commonly (and uncommonly) used to provide baffling and/or to minimize the effect of stray light…
Mass production of volume phase holographic gratings for the VIRUS spectrograph array
Taylor S. Chonis, Amy Frantz, Gary J. Hill +7
The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) is a baseline array of 150 copies of a simple, fiber-fed integral field spectrograph that will be deployed on the Ho…
aTmcam: A Simple Atmospheric Transmission Monitoring Camera For Sub 1% Photometric Precision
Ting Li, D. L. DePoy, R. Kessler +8
Traditional color and airmass corrections can typically achieve ~0.02 mag precision in photometric observing conditions. A major limiting factor is the variability in atmospheric t…
