Current object selection systems are limited and/or difficult to implement in next generation MOS for space and ground-based telescopes. A promising solution is the use of MOEMS devices such as micromirror arrays, which allow the remote control of the multi-slit configuration in real time. TNG is hosting a novelty project for real-time, on-demand MOS masks based on MOEMS programmable slits. We are developing a 2048×1080 Digital-Micromirror-Device-based (DMD) MOS instrument to be mounted on the Galileo telescope, called BATMAN. It is a two-arm instrument designed for providing in parallel imaging and spectroscopic capabilities. With a field of view of 6.8×3.6 arcmin and a plate scale of 0.2 arcsec per micromirror, this astronomical setup can be used to investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies. The wavelength range is in the visible and the spectral resolution is R=560 for a 1 arcsec object, and the two arms will have 2k × 4k CCD detectors. ROBIN, a BATMAN demonstrator, has been designed, realized and integrated. We plan to have BATMAN first light by mid-2016. | Conference Name: | Multi-Object Spectroscopy in the Next Decade: Big Questions, Large Surveys, and Wide Fields | Conference Place: | Santa Cruz de La Palma Canary Islands, Spain | Conference Date: | 2–6 March, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25946 | URL: | http://aspbooks.org/a/volumes/table_of_contents/?book_id=569 | ISSN: | 1050-3390 | ISBN: | 978-1-58381-898-5 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ASPC..507..329M | Fulltext: | open |
