METIS for ELT: optical alignment and testing of the IFU of the LM-band spectrometer
Lawrence Bissell, Ãamonn Harvey, Stephen Todd +7
The METIS LMS (LM-band Spectrometer) is a high-resolution (R>100,000) mid-infrared integral field spectrometer for the ESO ELT. The instrument provides the capability to measure in…
HARMONI at ELT: line spread functions in a diffraction limited spectrometer
Stephen P. Todd, Ãamonn J. Harvey, Anna MacIver +8
HARMONI is the first light, adaptive optics assisted, near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a spectral range from 800~nm to 2450~nm with resolving powers from…
Design and development of a near-IR integral field spectrograph for the HWO Coronagraph Instrument
Stephen P. Todd, Dan Dicken, Raziye Artan +5
The primary mission of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to identify and characterise potentially habitable worlds. Spectra across a wide wavelength range are needed to cov…
The Key to Unlocking Exoplanet Biosignatures: a UK-led IR Spectrograph for the Habitable Worlds Observatory Coronagraph
Beth Biller, Dan Dicken, Olivier Absil +13
The detection of life on rocky exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby stars would be a paradigm-shifting advance, and it is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our ti…
