The first near-infrared IFU spectrograph was the 3D instrument , constructed by the Max Planck Institut f r Extraterrestrische Physik. ... An effective slit width of 0.1" was chosen in order to probe to spatial scales approaching the 0.07" diffraction-limited image core size expected from the Gemini adaptive optics system at 2.2 microns while maintaining an acceptable field-of-view. ... The field mirror array then feeds the spectrograph collimator mirror (seen at left in the above figure). ...

Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
