Hector Galaxy Survey: Falling in Between - Infalling Galaxies in the Midst of the Abell 3667 Merger
Oğuzhan Çakır, Matt Owers, Gabriella Quattropani +38
Whether cluster mergers enhance ram pressure stripping (RPS) and accelerate member galaxy evolution remains an open question. Here, we investigate galaxy populations in the nearby…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: optical designs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrographs
Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen, Dimitri Buffat +7
In MOS Low-Resolution mode, WST has a 'spectral etendue' per fiber (etendue x spectral resolution elements) twice as large as any existing MOS instrument, and a total spectral eten…
Hector Galaxy Survey: Linking the low- and high-mass ends of the initial mass function in star-forming galaxies
Diego Salvador, Andrew Hopkins, Matt Owers +30
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental ingredient in galaxy evolution, linking observed integrated light to galaxy properties. Constraining the full IMF shape bey…
Hector Galaxy Survey: Data Processing, Quality Control and Early Science
S. Oh, M. L. P. Gunawardhana, S. M. Croom +52
The Hector Galaxy Survey is a new optical integral field spectroscopy (IFS) survey currently using the AAT to observe up to 15,000 galaxies at low redshift (). The Hector…
GHOST commissioning science results -- IV: Chemodynamical analyses of Milky Way satellites Sagittarius II and Aquarius II
Daria Zaremba, Kim Venn, Christian R. Hayes +28
We present Gemini/GHOST high-resolution spectra of five stars observed in two low surface brightness Milky Way satellites, Sagittarius II (Sgr2) and Aquarius II (Aqu2). For Aqu2, t…
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…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results: Identifying a new chemically peculiar star in Reticulum II
Christian R. Hayes, Kim A. Venn, Fletcher Waller +79
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is the newest high resolution spectrograph to be developed for a large aperture telescope, recently deployed and commissione…
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…
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…
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…
Hector - a new massively multiplexed IFS instrument for the Anglo-Australian Telescope
Julia J. Bryant, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Jon Lawrence +14
Hector will be the new massively-multiplexed integral field spectroscopy (IFS) instrument for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) in Australia and the next main dark-time instrume…
The Australian Space Eye: studying the history of galaxy formation with a CubeSat
Anthony Horton, Lee Spitler, Naomi Mathers +15
The Australian Space Eye is a proposed astronomical telescope based on a 6U CubeSat platform. The Space Eye will exploit the low level of systematic errors achievable with a small…
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…
PRAXIS: low thermal emission high efficiency OH suppressed fibre spectrograph
Robert Content, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Simon Ellis +12
