First demonstration of OH suppression in a high efficiency near-infrared spectrograph
S. C. Ellis, J. Bland-Hawthorn, J. S. Lawrence +21
Ground-based near-infrared astronomy is severely hampered by the forest of atmospheric emission lines resulting from the rovibrational decay of OH molecules in the upper atmosphere…
4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
Veloce Rosso: Australia's new precision radial velocity spectrograph
James Gilbert, Christoph Bergmann, Gabe Bloxham +24
Veloce is an ultra-stable fibre-fed R4 echelle spectrograph for the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. The first channel to be commissioned, Veloce 'Rosso', utilises multiple low-co…
Starbug fibre positioning robots: performance and reliability enhancements
David M. Brown, Scott Case, James Gilbert +9
Starbugs are miniature piezoelectric walking robots that can be operated in parallel to position many payloads like optical fibers across a telescopes focal plane. They consist of…
CYCLOPS2: the fibre image slicer upgrade for the UCLES high resolution spectrograph
Anthony Horton, C. G. Tinney, Scott Case +10
CYCLOPS2 is an upgrade for the UCLES high resolution spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, scheduled for commissioning in semester 2012A. By replacing the 5 mirror Coudé…
GNOSIS: the first instrument to use fibre Bragg gratings for OH suppression
Christopher Q. Trinh, Simon C. Ellis, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +20
GNOSIS is a prototype astrophotonic instrument that utilizes OH suppression fibres consisting of fibre Bragg gratings and photonic lanterns to suppress the 103 brightest atmospheri…
