Systems Enginnering applied to spectroscopy of the ELTs: The Conceptual Design phase of GMACS
D. M. Faes, A. Souza, D. R. Bortoletto +1
An important tool for the development of the next generation of extremely large telescopes (ELTs) is the Systems Engineering (SE). GMACS is the first-generation multi-object spectr…
BTFI2: a simple, light and compact Fabry-Perot instrument for the SOAR telescope
Bruno Correa Quint, Brian Chinn, Claudia Mendes de Oliveira +4
We present the concept of a new Fabry-Perot instrument called BTFI-2, which is based on the design of another Brazilian instrument for the SOAR Telescope, the Brazilian Tunable Fil…
Use of Python programming language in astronomy and science
Daniel M. Faes
The use of Python is noticeably growing among the scientific community, and Astronomy is not an exception. The power of Python consists of being an extremely versatile high-level l…
Looking to the Blue Sky with Colored Patterns
Diogo Soga, Daniel M. Faes, Mikiya Muramatsu
This work presents a simple alternative technique to observe the polarization of the skylight on Earth. Using a birefringent material and a polarizer to look at the polarized light…
SAMplus: adaptive optics at optical wavelengths for SOAR
D. M. Faes, A. Tokovinin, T. Vieira +5
Adaptive Optics (AO) is an innovative technique that substantially improves the optical performance of ground-based telescopes. The SOAR Adaptive Module (SAM) is a laser-assisted A…
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…
