The optical behaviour of BL Lacertae at its maximum brightness levels: a blend of geometry and energetics
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, S. G. Jorstad +13
In 2021 BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, which was intensively followed by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration. We present the WEBT optical…
The Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) I. Survey Overview, Reduction Pipeline, and Early Results
Patrick Tamburo, Philip S. Muirhead, Allison M. McCarthy +9
We describe the Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES), a near-infrared photometric search for short-period transiting planets and moons around a sample of 393 spectroscopica…
SUBARU prime focus spectrograph: integration, testing and performance for the first spectrograph
F. Madec, A. Le Fur, D. Le Mignant +22
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) of the Subaru Measurement of Images and Redshifts (SuMIRe) project for Subaru telescope consists in four identical spectrographs fed by 600 fiber…
Visible camera cryostat design and performance for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS)
Stephen A. Smee, James E. Gunn, Mirek Golebiowski +13
We describe the design and performance of the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) visible camera cryostats. SuMIRe PFS is a massively multi-plexed ground-based spectrograph consi…
A Novel Reflectometer for Relative Reflectance Measurements of CCDs
Murdock Hart, Robert H. Barkhouser, James E. Gunn +1
The high quantum efficiencies (QE) of backside illuminated charge coupled devices (CCD) has ushered in the age of the large scale astronomical survey. The QE of these devices can b…
Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) for the Subaru Telescope: Overview, recent progress, and future perspectives
Naoyuki Tamura, Naruhisa Takato, Atsushi Shimono +97
PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph), a next generation facility instrument on the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope, is a very wide-field, massively multiplexed, optical and near-infrared spec…
