  • UF and Gran Telescopio Canarias Unveil New Eye on the Infrared Sky Contact
    UF and Gran Telescopio Canarias Unveil New Eye on the Infrared Sky Contact: Prof. Stephen Eikenberry [email protected] 352-514-7632 The world's largest telescope - the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) 10.4-meter telescope on the island of La Palma, Spain - announced the unveiling of a new window into the mysteries of deep space, with the release of the Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment (CIRCE) for the use of astronomers worldwide. CIRCE - a highly-sensitive camera for the near-infrared (1.0 to 2.5 micron) wavelength range - was developed at the University of Florida (UF) Department of Astronomy by a team led by Professor Stephen Eikenberry and consisting largely of UF students and postdoctoral scholars. This approach provided a path for graduate students and young PhDs to be trained as instrument builders, which is not generally possible in the context of modern major facility instrumentation projects for large telescopes, where the much larger instruments, budgets, and teams generally prevent untrained personnel from "learning the ropes" of instrument-building in a broad sense. The students involved included: • Current students: Brian Chinn (undergraduate, class of 2016, Astronomy & Mechanical Engineering); Alan Garner (grad student, Astronomy); Deno Stelter (grad student, Astronomy); Kendall Ackley (grad student, Physics); Yigit Dallilar (grad student, Astronomy) • Former students: Miguel Charcos-Llorens (PhD 2009); Michelle Edwards (PhD 2008); Nestor Lasso-Cabrera (PhD 2012) • Former Postdoctoral scholars: Antonio Marin-Franch; Javier Cenarro These young scientists were supported in the development of CIRCE by members of the UF infrared instrumentation group (including J.

The science case for this next generation of observatories is clear, with science goals such as the discovery and exploration of extrasolar planets, exploration of dark matter and dark energy, the formation and evolution of planets, stars, galaxies, and detailed studies of the Sun. Enabling breakthrough astronomical goals requires novel and cutting-edge design choices at all stages of telescope manufacturing. In this paper, we discuss the integrated design and manufacturing of the next-generation large telescopes, from the optical design to enclosures required for optimal performance.

Michael Wood-Vasey, PhD, Assistant Professor ii SURVEY OF TRANSITING EXTRASOLAR PLANETS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Melanie L. Good, M.S. University of Pittsburgh, 2011 In the past two decades, a wealth of planets and planetary candidates orbiting other stars have been discovered and are awaiting more follow-up study to further characterize them. To pursue such follow-up avenues, I recruited a research team of undergraduate collabo- rators for a project we named Survey of Transiting Extrasolar Planets at the University of Pittsburgh (STEPUP). Since its inception in August 2009, STEPUP has investigated both known planets and planetary candidates, making use of the Allegheny Observatory’s 16” Meade LX-400 ACF telescope. In total we have taken 90 nights’ worth of data, ob- serving 17 stars hosting known or suspected substellar companions. We have been able to confirm transits of known gas giant planets such as XO-2b, TrES-2b, and HD80606b. In fact, our observations of HD806060b contributed to an international ground-based effort to collaboratively observe this long transit, a collaboration which demonstrated the success of coordinating observations across geographical distances.

This paper reviews the history, key engineering issues, and selected scientific achievements of the Subaru Telescope. The active optics for a thin primary mirror was the design backbone of the telescope to deliver a high-imaging performance. Adaptive optics with a laser-facility to generate an artificial guide-star improved the telescope vision to its diffraction limit by cancelling any atmospheric turbulence effect in real time. Various observational instruments, especially the wide-field camera, have enabled unique observational studies. Selected scientific topics include studies on cosmic reionization, weak/strong gravitational lensing, cosmological parameters, primordial black holes, the dynamical/chemical evolution/interactions of galaxies, neutron star merg- ers, supernovae, exoplanets, proto-planetary disks, and outliers of the solar system. The last described are operational statistics, plans and a note concerning the culture-and-science issues in Hawaii.

In particular, we review the progress of the opto- and cryo- mechanical design and manufacture, focusing on the custom filter, lyot, and grism wheels, lightweight optics, and mirror brackets. We also outline our progress with the optical bench. Finally, we discuss a number of CIRCE’s features that both complement and augment the planned suite of GTC facility instruments. Keywords: instrumentation:miscellaneous, infrared:general 1. INTRODUCTION The Canarias Infrared Camera Experiment (CIRCE) is a near-infrared (1 - 2.5 micron) visitor instrument for the 10.4-meter Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). Located on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, the telescope is a joint venture between Spain, Mexico, and the University of Florida (UF). While the final suite of GTC instruments will sample all crucial optical and infrared regimes, the first- generation of facility instruments do not include a NIR camera.
