The Gemini Observatory Science Operations Plan
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the Gemini Observatory science operations plan including the proposal submission, allocation and observation planning processes; the telescope operations model; and the scientific staffing plans and user support. Use of the telescope is shown by via a scenario involving a sub-stellar companion search program to illustrate the planning tools and level of integration required between the observatory control, telescope control and data handling software systems.

Mid - Infrared Imaging of the Herbig Ae Star AB Aurigae : Extended Emission on Several Scales 1
We present high sensitivity sub-arcsecond resolution images of the Herbig Ae star AB Aurigae at 11.6 and 18.5 μm taken with Michelle on Gemini North. Bright extended dust emission close to the star is resolved at both wavelengths, with quadratically subtracted FWHM of 17±4 AU at 11.6 μm and 22±5 AU at 18.5 μm. Additional, fainter emission is detected out to a radius of 280 AU at 11.6 μm and 350...

Using the Thermal-Region Camera and Spectrograph (T-ReCS) attached to the Gemini South 8m telescope, we have detected and resolved 10μm emission at the position of the inner equatorial ring (ER) of supernova SN 1987A at day 6067. “Hot spots” similar to, but not necessarily coincident with, those found in the optical and near-IR are clearly present. The morphology of the 10μm emission is globall...
متن کاملS ep 2 01 4 Most Sub - Arcsecond Companions of Kepler Exoplanet Candidate Host Stars are Gravitationally Bound
Using the known detection limits for high-resolution imaging observations and the statistical properties of true binary and line-of-sight companions, we estimate the binary fraction of Kepler exoplanet host stars. Our speckle imaging programs at the WIYN 3.5m and Gemini North 8.1-m telescopes have observed over 600 Kepler objects of interest (KOIs) and detected 49 stellar companions within ∼1 a...

متن کاملThe 3-Dimensional Structure of HH 32 from GMOS IFU Spectroscopy
We present new high resolution spectroscopic observations of the Herbig-Haro object HH 32 from System Verification observations made with the GMOS IFU at Gemini North Observatory. The 3D spectral data covers a 8.7×5.85 spatial field and 4820 7040 Å spectral region centered on the HH 32 A knot complex. We show the position-dependent line profiles and radial velocity channel maps of the Hα line, ...
