KMOS: an infrared multi-integral field spectrograph for the VLT
We describe a proposed 2 generation instrument (KMOS) for the ESO VLT which will deliver a unique multiple deployable integral field capability in the near-infrared (1-2.5ìm). The science drivers for such an instrument are presented and linked to the functional specification. The overall instrument concept is discussed in the context of two proposed solutions for delivering a deployable integra...
متن کاملThe SAURON project – I. The panoramic integral-field spectrograph
A new integral-field spectrograph, SAURON, is described. It is based on the TIGER principle, and uses a lenslet array. SAURON has a large field of view and high throughput, and allows simultaneous sky subtraction. Its design is optimized for studies of the stellar kinematics, gas kinematics, and line-strength distributions of nearby earlytype galaxies. The instrument design and specifications a...
متن کاملSINFONI observations of Nearby AGN and Design of an interferometric integral-field spectrograph for the LBT
The high energy output of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is due to the accretion of material onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and implies the presence of a gas reservoir close to the AGN. Furthermore, according to the Unified Model of AGN, the gas also plays an important role in the aspect-angle obscuration of the nucleus produced by a molecular/dusty torus. In the case of Type 2 AGN the...
متن کاملKMOS: an infrared multiple object integral field spectrograph for the ESO VLT
We describe the design of a 2 generation instrument for the ESO VLT which will deliver a unique multiple deployable integral field capability in the near-infrared (1-2.5μm). The science drivers for the instrument are presented and linked to the functional specification. The baseline instrument concept is described with emphasis on technological innovations. Detailed discussions of specific tech...
متن کاملThe Wide Field Spectrograph ( WiFeS )
This paper describes the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) under construction at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) of the Australian National University (ANU) for the ANU 2.3m telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory. WiFeS is a powerful integral field, double-beam, concentric, image-slicing spectrograph designed to deliver excellent thoughput, wavelength stability, spect...
