Near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of HD209458b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present first results of an exploratory study to use integral field spectroscopy to observe extrasolar planets. We focus on transiting "Hot Jupiters" and emphasize the importance of observing strategy and exact timing.

The Integral Field View of the Orion Nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper reviews the major advances achieved in the Orion Nebula through the use of integral field spectroscopy (IFS). Since the early work of Vasconcelos and collaborators in 2005, this technique has facilitated the investigation of global properties ...

The Robotic Multiobject Focal Plane System of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2022
A system of 5020 robotic fiber positioners was installed in 2019 on the Mayall Telescope, at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The robots automatically retarget their optical fibers every 10–20 minutes, each to a precision of several microns, with a ...

On the use of electron-multiplying CCDs for astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Conventional CCD detectors have two major disadvantages: they are slow to read out and they suffer from read noise. These problems combine to make high-speed spectroscopy of faint targets the most demanding of astronomical observations. It is possible to

JHK Spectra of the z=2.39 Radio Galaxy 53W002 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present low-resolution, near-IR JHK spectra of the weak z=2.39 radio galaxy 53W002, obtained with the OH-airglow Suppressor spectrograph (OHS) and Cooled Infrared Spectrograph and Camera for OHS (CISCO) on the Subaru Telescope.

Ultraluminous X-ray Sources and Their Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
One of the interesting features of Ultraluminous X-ray sources is that many of them are surrounded by luminous nebulae exhibiting diverse observational properties. In different cases the nebulae are photoionized or shock-powered.

The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Data Reduction System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is the diffraction-limited first light instrument for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) that consists of a near-infrared (0.84 to 2.4 $\mu$m) imager and integral field spectrograph (IFS). The IFS makes use of a lenslet
