Integration, Commissioning and Performance of the UK FMOSSpectrograph

摘要

The UK FMOS spectrograph forms part of Subaru's FMOS multi-object infrared spcctroscopy facility. The spectrograph was shipped to Hilo in component form in August of 2007. We describe the integration sequence for the spectrograph, the results of cooldown tests using a new chiller unit fitted to the spectrograph at the telescope, and alignment tests of the spectrograph, gratings and OH-suppression masks. We present the first-light observations for the spectrograph from May 2008.
