The image of the field should be a reduced (co-added) GMOS image supplied by Gemini, or a similarly reduced image. The image should be a MEF file. More information about MEF files can be found on the data formats page.

Gemini South Shutdown March 25-April 4

Gemini South will be closed March 25 through April 4, to replace some essential elements of the secondary mirror control system that are failing.  These parts were replaced on Gemini North previously. The installation of FLAMINGOS-2 and its first re-commissioning run are now planned for April.  The updated schedule is posted at http://www.gemini.edu/metrics/gs2013Aoverview.html.

TEXES Sensitivities and Overheads

Sensitivities

Because TEXES is background photon noise limited and both the instrumental response and the background flux depend on wavelength, the instrument sensitivity depends strongly on wavelength and spectral resolution. Proposers are encouraged to contact TEXES team members for sensitivity estimates for observations at specific wavelengths, but can make initial estimates based on the table below.
