Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN1 Robert Stobie Prime Focus Imaging Spectrograph Science Rationale Modes –Fabry-Perot Spectral Imaging –Grating Spectroscopy; VPH Gratings, MOS –Spectropolarimetry –Mode table Status

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN2 What science should RSS do? SALT features –very large aperture –good field of view (8 arcmin) –excellent ultraviolet throughput –queue scheduling –modest imaging RSS: emphasize unique observing modes that do not require excellent imaging –UV spectroscopy down to 3200 Ǻ (rare on large telescopes) –higher resolution: high-throughput grating Ǻ; Fabry- Perot Ǻ (Visible Beam); later μm (NIR) –polarimetry (circular and linear) (very rare) –high-speed detector mode (very rare)

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN3 Optics All-refractive UV optics for high throughput At prime focus for UV and full-field access NIR upgrade path: simultaneous 3200 Ǻ – 1.7 μ

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN8 Hubble Deep Field (South) Waveplate rotates polarization Beamsplitter splits 2 polarizations Polarization of 20 Spectra Spectropolarimetry Submode Also works in Imaging/ Fabry-Perot Modes

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN9 High Efficiency with Volume Phase Holographic Gratings = λ/Δλ Resolution vs wavelength for 1.2 arcsec slit Constant Efficiency Contours

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN10 How VPH Gratings Work Created by exposing holograph material (“DiChromated Gelatin") to interference pattern from laser Index of refraction of DCG is modulated in space Large; inexpensive; custom design; efficient at high groove density

Oct 26, 2007SALT Workshop UKZN12 Multi-Object Spectroscopy with custom masks Laser-cut slit masks Standard set of longslits Unique mask cut for each individual MOS observation Slit mask magazine will hold 10 longslits, 30 MOS masks Reload once/ week Giant Elliptical Galaxy NGC1399 at focus of telescope: Mask with slits cut in it to let through selected nebulae in galaxy "Longslit" mask to get spectrum along one position angle
