The Prototype Telescope and Spectrograph System for the AMASE Project
Renbin Yan, Matthew A. Bershady, Michael P. Smith +7
We present the design of the prototype telescope and spectrograph system for the Affordable Multiple Aperture Spectroscopy Explorer (AMASE) project. AMASE is a planned project that…
Update on the Preliminary Design of SCALES: the Santa Cruz Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy
R. Deno Stelter, Andrew J. Skemer, Steph Sallum +16
SCALES (Santa Cruz Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy) is a 2-5 micron high-contrast lenslet integral-field spectrograph (IFS) driven by exoplanet characterization scienc…
The Planet as Exoplanet Analog Spectrograph (PEAS): Design and First-Light
Emily C. Martin, Andrew J. Skemer, Matthew V. Radovan +13
Exoplanets are abundant in our galaxy and yet characterizing them remains a technical challenge. Solar System planets provide an opportunity to test the practical limitations of ex…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) Spectrographs
J. C. Wilson, F. R. Hearty, M. F. Skrutskie +86
We describe the design and performance of the near-infrared (1.51--1.70 micron), fiber-fed, multi-object (300 fibers), high resolution (R = lambda/delta lambda ~ 22,500) spectrogra…
An efficient, compact, and versatile fiber double scrambler for high precision radial velocity instruments
Samuel Halverson, Arpita Roy, Suvrath Mahadevan +5
We present the design and test results of a compact optical fiber double-scrambler for high-resolution Doppler radial velocity instruments. This device consists of a single optic:…
Observing Strategy for the SDSS-IV/MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey
David R. Law, Renbin Yan, Matthew A. Bershady +11
MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is an integral-field spectroscopic survey of 10,000 nearby galaxies that is one of three core programs in the fourth-gen…
