FOCAS IFU divides a field of view of 13."5 x 10."0 into 23 slices with a 0."435 width.
Slice number |
23 |
Slice width |
0.435" |
Slice length |
13.5" |
Field of View |
13.5" x 10.0" |
FOCAS IFU have a slit mask to simultaneously obtain a sky spectrum
5.2' away from the object field.
This IFU development was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 26400236 and TMT strategic research and development grant of NAOJ (FY2012, FY2013, FY2014, FY2016, FY2017).
