The Adaptive Optics System for the Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph: Performance Modeling
Uriel Conod, Kate Jackson, Paolo Turri +7
The Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph (GIRMOS) will be a near-infrared, multi-object, medium spectral resolution, integral field spectrograph (IFS) for Gemini North Telesco…
Gemini North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) facility overview and status updates
Gaetano Sivo, Julia Scharwächter, Manuel Lazo +54
The Gemini North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) facility is the upcoming AO facility for Gemini North providing a state-of-the-art AO system for surveys and time domain science in the era…
Strategic Scientific Plan for Gemini Observatory
J. P. Blakeslee, A. Adamson, C. Davis +30
We present the Strategic Scientific Plan (SSP) for the direction and activities of the Gemini Observatory in the 2020s. The overarching goal is to ensure that Gemini best uses the…
Entering into the Wide Field Adaptive Optics Era on Maunakea
Gaetano Sivo, John Blakeslee, Jennifer Lotz +32
As part of the National Science Foundation funded "Gemini in the Era of MultiMessenger Astronomy" (GEMMA) program, Gemini Observatory is developing GNAO, a widefield adaptive optic…
Probing the Time Domain with High Spatial Resolution
J. P. Blakeslee, S. A. Rodney, J. M. Lotz +17
Two groundbreaking new facilities will commence operations early in the 2020s and thereafter define much of the broad landscape of US optical-infrared astronomy in the remaining de…
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…
Towards an automatic wind speed and direction profiler for Wide Field AO systems
G. Sivo, A. Turchi, E. Masciadri +2
Wide Field Adaptive Optics (WFAO) systems are among the most sophisticated AO systems available today on large telescopes. The knowledge of the vertical spatio-temporal distributio…
Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun
E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18
At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…
Multi-conjugated adaptive optics imaging of distant galaxies -- A comparison of Gemini/GSAOI and VLT/HAWK-I data
Mischa Schirmer, Vincent Garrel, Gaetano Sivo +2
Multi-conjugated adaptive optics (MCAO) yield nearly diffraction-limited images at 2m wavelengths. Currently, GeMS/GSAOI at Gemini South is the only MCAO facility instrument at…
Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme AO project
Frantz Martinache, Olivier Guyon, Julien Lozi +3
High contrast coronagraphic imaging is a challenging task for telescopes with central obscurations and thick spider vanes, such as the Subaru Telescope. Our group is currently asse…
