Studying focal ratio degradation of optical fibers for Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph
Jesulino Bispo dos Santos, Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, James Gunn +9
Focal Ration Degradation (FRD) is a change in light angular distribution caused by fiber optics. FRD is important to fiber-fed, spectroscopic astronomical systems because it can ca…
Prime Focus Instrument of Prime Focus Spectrograph for Subaru Telescope
Shiang-Yu Wang, David F. Braun, Mark A. Schwochert +18
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph design for the prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope. PFS will cover 1.3 degree diamet…
Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System (FOCCoS) for PFS/Subaru
Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, Lígia Souza de Oliveira, Márcio V. de Arruda +29
FOCCoS, Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System, has the main function of capturing the direct light from the focal plane of Subaru Telescope using optical fibers, each one with a…
Developing Engineering Model Cobra fiber positioners for the Subaru Telescope Prime Focus Spectrometer
Charles Fisher, Chaz Morantz, David Braun +19
The Cobra fiber positioner is being developed by the California Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) instrum…
Progress with the Prime Focus Spectrograph for the Subaru Telescope: a massively multiplexed optical and near-infrared fiber spectrograph
Hajime Sugai, Naoyuki Tamura, Hiroshi Karoji +81
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is an optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph with 2394 science fibers, which are distributed in 1.3 degree diameter field of view at Suba…
