FOS/BLUE Wavelength-Zeropoint Correction Procedure Summary: A significant time-dependent systematic shift of up to 7 quarter-stepped pixels (1.75 diodes) in the zero-point of the FOS/BL wavelength scale has been confirmed in FOS Instrument Science Report (ISR) CAL/FOS-149 (Rosa, Kerber, and Keyes). ... Figures 1 and 2 (PDF - 14 Kbytes) illustrate the magnitude of the observed shifts and the effectiveness of the quick-fix algorithm provided here. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Instruments are more complicated than star catalogs, but a MIDAS table file is still useful for holding the description of an instrument. ... The main sub-table contains information about the passbands used, and the second sub-table describes the detector(s). ... Basic data for an instrument file include the passbands used (and any coding that is used to represent them in the data); the detectors used, and their properties; and general information about temperature control and optical cleanliness. ...

... GSAOI Home . Instrument . ... The Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) is a near-infrared adaptive optics camera that will be used with the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system on the Gemini South 8-m telescope . ... Gemini's major instrumentation goal is to develop its Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system for scientific use on Gemini South. ... Existing adaptive optics systems use a single natural guide star or artifical laser guide star to measure this image blur. ...

The following papers summarize the characterization and technical performance of IBIS : . ... Characterization of Fabry-Perot interferometers and multi-etalon transmission profiles. ... Righini, A., Cavallini, F., Reardon, K. P., 2010, Astronomy and Astrophysics , 515 , A85, . ... The filter wheel is located between the two interferometers. ... The interferometers can be rapidly tuned, simultaneously, so to allow sequential scanning of the spectral lines of interest (see movie in IBIS Intro ). ...
