First light of the Gemini Planet imager.
The Gemini Planet Imager is a dedicated facility for directly imaging and spectroscopically characterizing extrasolar planets. It combines a very high-order adaptive optics system, a diffraction-suppressing coronagraph, and an integral field spectrograph with low spectral resolution but high spatial resolution. Every aspect of the Gemini Planet Imager has been tuned for maximum sensitivity to f...
متن کاملNCPA Optimizations at Gemini North using Focal Plane Sharpening
Non-common path aberrations (NCPA) in an adaptive optics system are static aberrations that appear due to the difference in optical path between light arriving at the wavefront sensor (WFS) and at the science detector. If the adaptive optics are calibrated to output an unaberrated wavefront, then any optics outside the path of the light arriving at the WFS inherently introduce aberrations to th...
متن کاملCalibration of Photometry from the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph on Gemini North
All available observations of photometric standard stars obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph at Gemini North in the period from August 2001 to December 2003 have been used to establish the calibrations for photometry obtained with the instrument. The calibrations presented in this paper are based on significantly more photometric standard star observations than usually used by th...
متن کاملScience with NIFS, Australia's First Gemini Instrument
The Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) will be Australia's rst Gemini instrument. NIFS is a near-infrared, imaging spectrograph that will be used with the ALTAIR facility adaptive optics system on Gemini North to perform near di ractionlimited imaging spectroscopy over a 3:0 3:0 eld-of-view with 0.1 wide slitlets and a spectral resolving power of 5300. NIFS will operate in the wav...
متن کاملMOPS installation at Mopra and first light
Investigating grain growth in southern protoplanetary disks Page 18 As we enter the 2006 millimetre observing season at the ATNF, the installation of the ATNF’s newest and most versatile spectrometer is now complete. The MOPra Spectrometer (MOPS) recently completed the final stages of testing on the Mopra millimetre telescope and observations have commenced for 2006, with fascinating results al...
