Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini-South: Instrument performance and integration, first science, and next steps
V. M. Kalari, R. J. Diaz, G. Robertson +57
The Gemini South telescope is now equipped with a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST (the Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph). This instrument provides high-eff…
The Science Performance of the Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph
Alan W. McConnachie, Christian R. Hayes, J. Gordon Robertson +46
The Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) is a fiber-fed spectrograph system on the Gemini South telescope that provides simultaneous wavelength coverage from 348 - 1…
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…
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Book 2018
Alexis Hill, Nicolas Flagey, Alan McConnachie +122
(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the…
Sphinx: a massively multiplexed fiber positioner for MSE
Scott Smedley, Gabriella Baker, Rebecca Brown +6
In this paper we present the Australian Astronomical Observatory's concept design for Sphinx - a fiber positioned with 4332 spines on a 7.77mm pitch for CFHT's Mauna Kea Spectrosco…
First Light Results from the Hermes Spectrograph at the AAT
Andrew Sheinis, Borja Anguiano, Martin Asplund +60
The High Efficiency and Resolution Multi Element Spectrograph, HERMES, is a facility-class optical spectrograph for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). It is designed primarily f…
Starbugs: all-singing, all-dancing fibre positioning robots
James Gilbert, Michael Goodwin, Jeroen Heijmans +7
Starbugs are miniature piezoelectric 'walking' robots with the ability to simultaneously position many optical fibres across a telescope's focal plane. Their simple design incorpor…
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…
