Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Titolo del volume in cui è pubblicato il poster: | Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VI | Curatore/i del volume in cui è pubblicato il contributo: | Evans, Christopher J.; Simard, Luc; Takami, Hideki | Serie: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Numero: | 9908 | Da pagina:: | 99081G-1 | Abstract: | We present the Final Design of the WEAVE next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), together with a status update on the details of manufacturing, integration and the overall project schedule now that all the major fabrication contracts are in place. We also present a summary of the current planning behind the 5-year initial phase of survey operations. WEAVE will provide optical ground-based follow up of ground-based (LOFAR) and space-based (Gaia) surveys. WEAVE is a multi-object and multi-IFU facility utilizing a new 2-degree prime focus field of view at the WHT, with a buffered pick-and-place positioner system hosting 1000 multi-object (MOS) fibres, 20 integral field units, or a single large IFU for each observation. The fibres are fed to a single (dual-beam) spectrograph, with total of 16k spectral pixels, located within the WHT GHRIL enclosure on the telescope Nasmyth platform, supporting observations at R 5000 over the full 370-1000nm wavelength range in a single exposure, or a high resolution mode with limited coverage in each arm at R 20000. The project is now in the manufacturing and integration phase with first light expected for early of 2018. | Titolo del convegno: | Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VI | Luogo del convegno: | Edinburgh, United Kingdom | Periodo del convegno: | 26 June - 1 July 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25320 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9908/99081G/Final-design-and-progress-of-WEAVE--the-next-generation/10.1117/12.2231078.full | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510601956 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2231078 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016SPIE.9908E..1GD | Fulltext: | open |
