Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations Active Optics –33-pad system, LUT driven, updated every few months –DECam will provide in-line updates (via “donut”) possibly allowing us to close the loop during observations

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations Environment –Dome ventilation doors at telescope level –Dome covered with thermally insulated aluminum panels –Air ventilation around primary mirror and telescope structure –Better thermal management throughout the building, servo-control optimized system.

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations More recently: –Radial support mechanism understood Supports were detaching from the primary due to mechanical interference and accumulated misalignments resulting from inadequate repairs. 24 supports, 3 pivot points each, gravity-driven system. –Primary mirror movement identified and (partially) resolved Broken radial supports generated imbalances in the radial support system Primary mirror movement in cell involved hysteresis and was unpredictable

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations More recently: –Primary mirror repositioned 2.3mm in z-direction –Primary mirror is now centered in cell Coma was dominant and variable, is now the third most significant aberration and stable. Image Quality obtained by the SuperMacho program, 2005B, airmass corrected, VR filter. Dates: to , Blue: pre-shutdown, red: post-shutdown, approx equal number (~580) exposures each.

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations More recently: –Radial support counterweights augmented –Telescope flexure measured Movements of primary w.r.t. corrector no longer show hysteresis and are believed to be due to flexure. –Aluminization chamber upgrade underway –Two degree slew time reduction from 35s to 17s - feasibility established –Telescope FEA model built, drawings supplied, design limits explored

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations, To Do Complete radial support repairs –Either: complete review of repaired supports & retune as necessary –Or: upgrade & re-site all radial supports to virgin glass TCS upgrade –Retire irreplaceable, obsolete components –Move to modern, integrated system (Linux, ethernet, current gen PMAC, tape encoders) –To incorporate & supply observation telemetry & metadata Environmental improvements –More doors? –Additional cooling? –Replacement for plenum? –Active cooling at the top end (comes with DECam)

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: CTIO’s preparations, To Do Cleanroom –Coude room, required for assembly, testing & future repairs Interfaces –Gases N 2, dry air for venting, driving filter/shutter cryogenic system supply LN 2 –Coolant (glycol, alcohol/water) Power dissipation goal of 100W requries active cooling –Mechanical, electrical, computing, etc

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO Many improvements will come with the instrument itself –Alignment sensors and active alignment correction –Contemporaneous focusing –Active instrument cooling –New corrector (better design, not damaged!)

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: Integration & Community Use DECam is to be a facility instrument. DECam will replace Mosaic II and must offer the same functionality and similar flexibility –f/8 secondary –Observation modes currently available with Mosaic II must also be available with DECam. Many DES requirements fulfill this, but attention must be paid to some functions not obviously covered by DES –Classical observing modes (as opposed to queued or service) 1.Single object (pointed) 2.Dithered 3.Survey 4.Planetary (non-sidereal) DECam U band is limited by CCD response, Mosaic II by corrector transmission → ~same efficiency

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: Integration & Community Use Filters –Must be able to use non-DES filters on non-DES nights 6 filter positions minimum, 8 preferred –Non-DES filters: high price will limit options Review panel convened, recommendations made Shutter –Speed, accuracy, precision, durability Observing environment –Observer interface GUI Real Time Display Quick-look and on-the-fly data analysis –Integration into NOAO Science Archive Consistent data format Pipeline access NOAO will make a non-volatile copy of all DECam data

Tim Abbott DECam & CTIO: Integration & Community Use Installation & integration considerations –Mechanical limits Instrument max mass ~5 tons –Interfaces –Assembly Coude room –Mounting DECam replaces the entire top-end, excluding top-rings and spider –Alignment Hexapod –Commissioning Installation & shakedown –Environmental conditions Temperatures, humidity, orientation changes, earthquakes –Maintenance, spares, tooling, documentation –Operations

Tim Abbott DECam as community instrument DECam will replace Mosaic II in all respects therefore must be able to perform as Mosaic II f/8 function must be maintained DECam U band limited by CCD response, Mosaic II by glass → ~same efficiency Shutter performance – driven by standard star observations, minimum exposure time 1s Filters – current concept is for 6, possibly 8. 4 DES, remainder for community Community/NOAO will have to purchase own filters beyond DES 4.
