The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: science drivers and overview of instrument design
Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud, Florence Laurent +47
BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). With an optimised transmission…
Exoplanets in the Antarctic Sky. I. The First Data Release of AST3-II (CHESPA) and New Found Variables within the Southern CVZ of TESS
Hui Zhang, Zhouyi Yu, Ensi Liang +37
Located at Dome A, the highest point of the Antarctic plateau, the Chinese Kunlun station is considered to be one of the best ground-based photometric sites because of its extremel…
Accuracy of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor using a coherent wound fibre image bundle
Jessica R. Zheng, Michael Goodwin, Jon Lawrence
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors using wound fibre bundles are desired for multi-object adaptive optical systems to provide large multiplex positioned by Starbugs. The use of the l…
Performance of a novel PMMA polymer imaging bundle for field acquisition and wavefront sensing
Samuel Nathan Richards, Sergio Leon-Saval, Michael Goodwin +7
Imaging bundles provide a convenient way to translate a spatially coherent image, yet conventional imaging bundles made from silica fibre optics typically remain expensive with lar…
Scientific Goals of the Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey (KISS)
Michael Burton, Jessica Zheng, Jeremy Mould +10
The high Antarctic plateau provides exceptional conditions for conducting infrared observations of the cosmos on account of the cold, dry and stable atmosphere above the ice surfac…
Optimising the K dark filter for the Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey
Yushan Li, Jessica Zheng, Peter Tuthill +6
The Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey will be the first comprehensive exploration of the time varying Universe in the infrared. A key feature in optimizing the scientific yield of this am…
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…
Miniaturized Shack-Hartmann Wavefront-Sensors for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Belen Alcalde, Samuel Richards +4
The ability to position multiple miniaturized wavefront sensors precisely over large focal surfaces are advantageous to multi-object adaptive optics. The Australian Astronomical Ob…
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…
Suppression of the near-infrared OH night sky lines with fibre Bragg gratings - first results
S. C. Ellis, J. Bland-Hawthorn, J. Lawrence +20
The background noise between 1 and 1.8 microns in ground-based instruments is dominated by atmospheric emission from hydroxyl molecules. We have built and commissioned a new instru…
