The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Low Resolution Spectrograph: optical design
The Hobby Eberly Telescope (HET) is a revolutionary large telescope of 9.2 meter aperture, which is currently undergoing commissioning at McDonald Observatory. First light was obtained on December 11, 1996. Scientific operations are expected in 1998. The Low Resolution Spectrograph (LRS, a collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin, the Instituto de Astronomía de la Universidad Nac...
متن کاملThe Spectrograph
JILA Fellow John Hall will deliver the 2006 Richard C. Lord Lecture on May 2, on “Optical clocks, combs and coherence: defining and measuring optical frequency.” Born in 1934 in Denver, Hall is an alumnus of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he received B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. He conducted postdoctoral studies at the Department of Commerce’s National Bureau of Standards, now cal...
متن کامل× optical zoom and extreme optical image stabilisation : diffraction limited integral field spectroscopy with the SWIFT spectrograph
When commissioned in November 2008 at the Palomar 200 inch Hale Telescope, the Oxford SWIFT I&z band integral field spectrograph, fed by the adaptive optics system PALAO, provided a wide (3×) range of spatial resolutions: three plate scales of 235 mas, 160 mas, and 80 mas per spaxel over a contiguous field-of-view of 89×44 pixels. Depending on observing conditions and guide star brightness we c...

The spectrophotometric calibration of surveys is a significant, but often neglected, issue when measuring the history of star formation by combining spectroscopic surveys conducted with different instruments. We describe techniques for photometric calibration of optical spectra obtained with the MMT’s fiber-fed spectrograph, Hectospec. The atmospheric dispersion compensation prisms built into t...
متن کاملLuminous Optical Transient in the Nearby Galaxy Ngc 300 1
A luminous optical transient (OT) that appeared in NGC 300 in early 2008 had a maximum brightness, MV ≃ −13, intermediate between classical novae and supernovae. We present ground-based photometric and spectroscopic monitoring and adaptive-optics imaging of the OT, as well as preand post-outburst space-based imaging with HST and Spitzer. The optical spectrum at maximum showed an F-type supergia...
