Mimir: A Near-Infrared Wide-Field Imager, Spectrometer, and Polarimeter
Mimir, a new facility-class near-infrared instrument for the 1.8 m Perkins telescope on Anderson Mesa outside Flagstaff, Arizona, was commissioned and has been operating for three years. Mimir is multifunction, performing wide-field (F=5) and narrow-field (F=17) imaging, long-slit spectroscopy, and imaging polarimetry. The F=5 mode images at 0.59′′ per pixel onto the 1024 × 1024 pixel ALADDIN I...
متن کاملA calibrated digital sideband separating spectrometer for radio astronomy applications
Dual sideband (2SB) receivers are well suited for the spectral observation of complex astronomical signals over a wide frequency range. They are extensively used in radio astronomy, their main advantages being to avoid spectral confusion and to diminish effective system temperature by a factor two with respect to double sideband (DSB) receivers. Using available millimeter-wave analog technology...
متن کاملA Field Programmable Gate Array Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy
We describe the technological concept and the first–light results of a 1024-channel spectrometer based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware. This spectrometer is the prototype for the seven beam L-band receiver to be installed at the Effelsberg 100-m telescope in autumn 2005. Using " of-the-shelf " hardware and software products, we designed and constructed an extremely flexible Fas...
متن کاملA polarimeter for IXO
The X-ray POLarimeter (XPOL) is an instrument that will fly on-board the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). We will describe the XPOL setup in IXO and we will compare the IXO requirements with the actual prototype performance. The environmental tests performed on the XPOL prototype (thermo-vacuum, vibration and heavy ions irradiation) show that this technology is ready for a space applicati...
متن کاملA simple optical electron polarimeter
It is pointed out that heavy atoms (i.e. those which have spectroscopically resolvable fine structure) are not required for optical measurements of electron polarisation. A polarimeter which uses helium gas instead of heavy-metal vapour is proposed, and several experimental details are discussed. Optical detection of electron polarisation was first proposed more than a decade ago by Farago and ...
