1 Current Status of FMOS and Schedule Toward the Common Use Naruhisa Takato

2 What is FMOS? Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph wavelength coverage: 0.9 – 1.8 um FOV: φ30 ‘ 400 multiplicity OH – airglow suppression spectral resolution: R=500 & 2200 expected limiting magnitude: ( 1 hour, S/N=5) J = 22.3, H = 20.9

3 A Quick History of FMOS 2000 : project approved design and development of - Fibre positioner (Echidna): AAO - Prime Focus Unit (PIR): Kyoto/NAOJ - Spectrograph IRS1: Kyoto/NAOJ, IRS2: Oxford, RAL (UK) - F5 fibre: Durham (UK)

4 A Quick History of FMOS 2005/07, 10 1 st and 2 nd PIR test on telescope - Corrector was offseted/tilted, but could not correct it because corrector could move only along 1-axis and… - PIR cable wrapper broken mechanically Cable wrapper and corrector moving mechanism were re-designed and newly fabricated.

11 Progress in FMOS engineering Obs. - Coma aberration can be canceled by adjusting corrector lens using SH wavefront measurement - optics: 0.3-0.5 arcsec, - actural image size (incl. seeing): 0.8-1” - telescope distortion modeling: 0.8” rms => 6 stars were acquired at the same time in AG fiber - Obtained Sky spectrum

15 A Tentative Schedule Toward Open Use 2007/12 : PIR test on the telescope (I)(II) 2008/01 : Echidna test on the telescope (I) 2008/02: refine Echidna and Spectrograph control on the telescope(II) 2008/05: IRS1,2 test (I) 2008/06: IRS1,2 test (II) 2008/08-: tune-up the total system 2008/12? - : start GT? 2009/06 : provide maintenance document 2009/08??: start Open Use

16 … need stable instrument for open use
