Science planning for the Gemini 8m telescopes
The new 8-meter class telescopes represent large investments by the development communities. This means that these telescopes must be operated efficiently to provide the best possible return on these investments and a great deal of effort has been made to provide control software that supports effective use of the telescopes. However, efficient use must be more than just keeping the telescopes ...
متن کاملExtragalactic Integral Field Spectroscopy on the Gemini Telescopes
We have been undertaking a programme on the Gemini 8-m telescopes to demonstrate the power of integral field spectroscopy, using the optical GMOS spectrograph, and the new CIRPASS instrument in the near-infrared. Here we present some preliminary results from 3D spectroscopy of extra-galactic objects, mapping the emission lines in a 3CR radio galaxy and in a gravitationally lensed arc, exploring...
متن کاملField Spectroscopy with the Gemini 8 - m Telescopes
We give an overview of the current and future IFU capabilities on the Gemini 8-m telescopes. The telescopes are well-suited to integral field spectroscopy and both telescopes will have optical and nearinfrared IFUs within the next few years. Commissioning for the GMOS IFU on Gemini North has begun recently and it is now available to the community. Future integral field instruments will take adv...
متن کاملCommunications challenge for the Gemini 8-m Telescopes
We discuss the requirements and design of the communications system for the Gemini 8-meter Telescopes Project . This system is unique not only in our integrated approach to data, voice and video, but it also must span the globe to reach the two telescope sites in Chile and Hawaii, and provide access to astronomers around the world. We discuss the various services planned for the communications ...
متن کاملUser Interface for the Control of the Gemini Telescopes
A discussion of the interactive operator user interface developed for the Gemini 8-m Telescopes is presented. Topics include the use of a layered synthesized view of the area of interest on the sky, a data driven approach to the control of the subsystems, and an adaptive view on the health of those subsystems. The synthesized view utilizes information from pre-existing databases; guide, wavefro...
