Abstract

(Abridged) Atmospheric dispersion and field differential refraction impose severe constraints on widefield MOS observations. Flux reduction and spectral distortions must be minimised by a careful planning of the observations -- which is especially true for instruments that use slits instead of fibres. This is the case of VIMOS at the VLT, where MOS observations have been restricted, since the start of operations, to a narrow two-hour range from the meridian to minimise slit losses. We revisit in detail the impact of atmospheric effects on the quality of VIMOS-MOS spectra. We model slit losses across the entire VIMOS FOV as a function of target declination. We explore two different slit orientations at the meridian: along the parallactic angle (North-South), and perpendicular to it (East-West). We show that, for fields culminating at zenith distances larger than 20 deg, slit losses are minimised with slits oriented along the parallactic angle at the meridian. The two-hour angle rule holds for these observations using N-S orientations. Conversely, for fields with zenith angles smaller than 20 deg at culmination, losses are minimised with slits oriented perpendicular to the parallactic angle at the meridian. MOS observations can be effectively extended to plus/minus three hours from the meridian in these cases. In general, night-long observations of a single field will benefit from using the E-W orientation. All-sky or service mode observations, however, require a more elaborate planning that depends on the target declination, and the hour angle of the observations. We establish general rules for the alignment of slits in MOS observations that will increase target observability, enhance the efficiency of operations, and speed up the completion of programmes -- a particularly relevant aspect for the forthcoming spectroscopic public surveys with VIMOS., Comment: Accepted to A&A. 11 pages, 15 figures. This paper presents the new recommendations for optimal slit alignment in VLT/VIMOS observations

5. Infrared extinction in the Inner Milky Way through the red clump giants

Subjects
Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract

While the shape of the extinction curve on the infrared is considered to be set and the extinction ratios between infrared bands are usually taken to be approximately constant, a recent number of studies point either to a spatially variable behavior on the exponent of the power law or to a different extinction law altogether. In this paper, we propose a method to analyze the overall behavior of the interstellar extinction by means of the red-clump population, and we apply it to those areas of the Milky Way where the presence of interstellar matter is heavily felt: areas located in 5 deg

Abstract

We describe the technique used to develop on-orbit calibrators for IRAC and validate the method for either K0-M0III or A0-A5V stars. For SIRTF, the approach uses all available optical, NIR, and MIR photometry, and yields absolute spectra from UV to MIR. One set of stars is from Landolt's network of optical standards, the other from Carter-Meadows IR standards. Traceability to the Cohen-Walker- Witteborn framework of absolute photometry and spectra is assured. The method is based on using either "supertemplates" to represent the intrinsic shapes of the spectra of K0-M0IIIs from 1150A to 35 um, or Kurucz synthetic spectra for A0-5V stars. Each supertemplate/model is reddened according to a star's extinction and normalized by characterized optical photometry. This paper tests our ability to predict NIR (JHK) magnitudes from supertemplates or models constrained by Hippa- rcos/Tycho or precision ground-based optical data. We offer absolute calibrated spectra of 33 optical standards to demonstrate the viability of this technique for a set of IR calibrators 100-1000 times fainter than we have previously publ- ished. We calculate the absolute uncertainties associated with predicting IRAC mags for the faintest cool giant and hot dwarf in this new set of calibrators., Comment: 53 pages, Latex, AASTEX5 macros

Abstract

We present EMIR, a powerful near-infrared (NIR) camera and multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of the 10.4 m GTC. EMIR was commissioned in mid-2016 and is offered as a common-user instrument. It provides spectral coverage of 0.9–2.5 µm over a field of view (FOV) of 6.67′ × 6.67′ in imaging mode, and 6.67′ × 4′ in spectroscopy. EMIR delivers up to 53 spectra of different objects thanks to a robotic configurable cold slit mask system that is located inside the cryogenic chamber, allowing rapid reconfiguration of the observing mask. The imaging mode is attained by moving all bars outside the FOV and then leaving an empty space in the GTC focal surface. The dispersing suite holds three large pseudo-grisms, formed by the combination of high-efficiency FuSi ion-etched ruled transmission grating sandwiched between two identical ZnSe prisms, plus one standard replicated grism. These dispersing units offer the spectral recording of an atmospheric window J, H, K in a single shot with resolving powers of 5000, 4250, 4000, respectively for a nominal slit width of 0.6″, plus the combined bands Y J or HK, also in a single shot, with resolution of ~1000. The original Hawaii2 FPA detector, which is prone to instabilities that add noise to the signal, is being replaced by a new Hawaii2RG detector array, and is currently being tested at the IAC. This paper presents the most salient features of the instrument, with emphasis on its observing capabilities and the functionality of the configurable slit unit. Sample early science data is also shown.

Abstract

HARMONI is the E-ELT's first light visible and near-infrared integral field spectrograph. It will provide four different spatial scales, ranging from coarse spaxels of 60 × 30 mas best suited for seeing limited observations, to 4 mas spaxels that Nyquist sample the diffraction limited point spread function of the E-ELT at near-infrared wavelengths. Each spaxel scale may be combined with eleven spectral settings, that provide a range of spectral resolving powers (R 3500, 7500 and 20000) and instantaneous wavelength coverage spanning the 0.5 - 2.4 ¿m wavelength range of the instrument. In autumn 2015, the HARMONI project started the Preliminary Design Phase, following signature of the contract to design, build, test and commission the instrument, signed between the European Southern Observatory and the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council. Crucially, the contract also includes the preliminary design of the HARMONI Laser Tomographic Adaptive Optics system. The instrument's technical specifications were finalized in the period leading up to contract signature. In this paper, we report on the first activity carried out during preliminary design, defining the baseline architecture for the system, and the trade-off studies leading up to the choice of baseline.

38. Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIII. Supertemplates and On-Orbit Calibrators for the SIRTF Infrared Array Camera

Author

Cohen, Martin, Megeath, S. T., Hammersley, Peter L., Martín-Luis, Fabiola, and Stauffer, John

Abstract

We describe the technique that will be used to develop a set of on-orbit calibrators for the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) and demonstrate the validity of the method for stars with spectral types either K0–M0 III or A0–A5 V. For application to SIRTF, the approach is intended to operate with all available optical, near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared (MIR) photometry and to yield complete absolute spectra from UV to MIR. One set of stars is picked from Landolt's extensive network of optical (UBVRI) calibrators, the other from the Carter-Meadows set of faint IR standards. Traceability to the "Cohen-Walker-Witteborn" framework of absolute photometry and stellar spectra is assured. The method is based on the use of either "supertemplates," which represent the intrinsic shapes of the spectra of K0–M0 III stars from far-UV (1150 Å) to MIR (35 μm) wavelengths, or Kurucz synthetic spectra for A0–A5 V stars. Each supertemplate or Kurucz model is reddened according to the individual star's extinction and is normalized using available characterized optical photometry. This paper tests our capability to predict NIR (JHK) magnitudes using supertemplates or models constrained by Hipparcos/Tycho or precision ground-based optical data. We provide absolutely calibrated 0.275–35.00 μm spectra of 33 Landolt and Carter-Meadows optical standard stars to demonstrate the viability of this technique, and to offer a set of IR calibrators 100–1000 times fainter than those we have previously published. As an indication of what we can expect for actual IRAC calibration stars, we have calculated the absolute uncertainties associated with predicting the IRAC magnitudes for the faintest cool giant and hot dwarf in this new set of calibration stars.
