GNIRS Status and Availability Change

sleggett — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:44:32 -1000

GNIRS optical work has been postponed to 2014, see the Status and Availability page. This means that GNIRS remains on the telescope later in the 13A semester and is expected to be available for science in early August. Also imaging using GNIRS and the Y filter is not possible, and the short red camera is not available, until 2014.

Gemini North June/July Schedule Revised

sleggett — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:27:04 -1000

Due to the delay to the planned GNIRS engineering the North telescope 2013A schedule has been revised. GNIRS is now available later in the semester, while NIRI will be available for less time, than originally planned. The revised availability is shown on the Gemini North 2013A schedule overview.

2012 Annual Report

GMOS Lick standard spectra available

bmiller — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 03:53:53 -1000

Reduced GMOS B600 spectra of Lick line index standard stars are now available from the GMOS calibration page. The calibration parameters to put the GMOS-N/S spectra on the Lick spectral line index system are given in Puzia et al. (2013, AJ, accepted, see astro-ph 1304.3142). These stars may also be useful as spectral templates and radial velocity standards.

GS observing database offline

bmiller — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:13:35 -1000

The Gemini South observing database (ODB) is currently offline due to a power failure at Cerro Pachon. During this period it will not be possible to fetch/store programs or file attachments with the Observing Tool (OT). Work to restore power is ongoing.

Updated 2013B PIT fixes guide star bug

bmiller — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:24:05 -1000

A bug in PIT 2013.2.1 prevents the calculation of guide star availability for the given target, instrument configuration, and weather conditions. This does not prevent proposal submission but it is confusing and undesirable. This problem has been fixed with the release of PIT 2013.2.2 on March 26, 2013. The new PIT can be downloaded from here. The guide star likelihoods will be calculated automatically once a program is loaded into the new PIT.

Phoenix to be removed in January 2011

brodgers — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 05:12:15 -1000

Phoenix has been a visitor instrument on Gemini South since the beginning of science operations in 2002. It has been scientifically productive, with an active user community, and the observatory is grateful to NOAO for the long-term loan. However, Gemini is about to commission new Gemini South instrumentation and is actively engaged in a transition to operations without the UK as a partner. Together, these fundamentally limit both available staff effort and instrument ports, and Gemini can no longer afford to offer Phoenix for regular use.

GNIRS System Verification Accepted Proposals Announced

OT and PIT planning update to Java 6

bmiller — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:58:55 -1000

For many years the Gemini Observing Tool (OT) and Phase I Tool (PIT) have been using version 1.5 of the Java language. Java 1.5 has now reached the end of its official service life (see java.sun.com). In order to take advantage of many bug fixes and new features Gemini is planning to move these applications to the current version of Java (version 1.6 or Java 6) starting with the December 2009 OT.

Message from the Director Regarding WFMOS

By Doug Simons

On May 12-13 the Gemini Board met to discuss, among other topics, the future of the WFMOS project. At this meeting the Observatory provided the Board with a variety of information to support a definitive decision by the Board about proceeding with WFMOS. Regretfully, due to funding limitations, the Board could not support continuing with WFMOS and through this message I am informing the entire Gemini community that the WFMOS project has been terminated.

Gemini North currently accepting poor weather proposals

admin — Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 -1000

Gemini North welcomes poor weather proposals . Note that reliable guiding with the peripheral wave-front sensor (P2) at the optimum frequency requires a star brighter than R~13.5 in clear, dark skies, so in cloudy conditions we can observe only programs with R<11.5 guide-stars. For the GMOS OIWFS the same limit applies. For GMOS-N, only imaging or R400 and B600 spectroscopic programs will be considered.
