Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph: Instrument Overview
Suresh Sivanandam, Scott Chapman, Luc Simard +27
The Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph (GIRMOS) is a powerful new instrument being built to facility-class standards for the Gemini telescope. It takes advantage of the late…
Automated testing of optical fibres: towards the design of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Fibre Transmission System
Stephanie Monty, Farbod Jahandar, Jooyoung Lee +8
We present the results of an automated fibre optic test bench constructed at the University of Victoria as part of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) Fibre Transmission Syst…
MSE FiTS: the ultimate multi-fiber optic transmission system
Kim Venn, Darren Erickson, David Crampton +14
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is a next-generation observatory, designed to provide highly multiplexed, multi-object spectroscopy over a wide field of view. The observa…
Multi time-step wave-front reconstruction for tomographic Adaptive-Optics systems
Yoshito H. Ono, Masayuki Akiyama, Shin Oya +5
In tomographic adaptive-optics (AO) systems, errors due to tomographic wave-front reconstruction limit the performance and angular size of the scientific field of view (FoV), where…
