The 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 کاملKMOS: 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 Integral Field Unit for the Echellette Spectrograph and Imager at Keck II
We report on the design, development and commissioning of an Integral Field Unit (IFU) that has been built for the Echellette Spectrograph and Imager (ESI) at the W.M. Keck Observatory. This image slicer–based IFU, which was commissioned in the spring of 2004 covers a contiguous field of 5.65 x 4.0 arcseconds in 5 slices that are 1.13 arcseconds wide. The IFU passes a spectral range of 0.39-1.1...
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...
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...
