CFHT Observatory Manual - Observatory (Sec.5) http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/Instruments/ObservatoryManual/CFH... CFHT Observatory Manual Section 5 - INSTRUMENTS Overview TABLE OF CONTENTS Currently available instruments are listed and are briefly described in this manual. More complete operational manuals are available in Instrument Manuals. Present CFHT instruments cover the following uses: 0.3 to 1 micron wide field imagery, at prime focus (MegaCam/MegaPrime); (replacing the CFH12K mosaic) 1.2 to 2.5 micron imaging at f/8 using the AOB/PUEO with KIR, or the CFHT IR camera; (and soon WIRCam) 0.36 to 1 micron low-to-medium resolution and multi-slit spectroscopy at f/8 Cass. focus (MOS/OSIS); 0.4 to 0.7 micron Fabry-Pérot spectroscopy at f/8 Cass focus MOS-FP or OSIS-FP; 0.3 to 1 micron high resolution stellar spectroscopy at coudé focus (CFHT coudé spectrograph Gecko and Gecko with fiber feed CAFE); Visible instruments are CCD-based. The coudé spectrograph can use the MIT2, or EEV1, detectors. Also, CFHT astronomers are involved in future Instrumentation Projects: ESPaDOnS, an Echelle SpectroPolarimetric Device for the Observation of Stars at CFHT is under construction WIRCam, the CFHT wide-field infrared camera (20’x20’, 0.3" pixels) is at the final design review stage. ‘OHANA, the optical Hawaiian Array for Nanoradian Astronomy) project. Data Acquisition and Instrument Control The summit data acquisition and instrument control system, the Hale Pohaku data reduction system, and the Waimea observing, permanent record/software development/data reduction facilities function in a fully integrated way via: 1 of 10 08/07/04 11:26 PM
