MMIRS MMT and Magellan Infrared

Spectrograph

Brian McLeod

MMIRS 2

Science Drivers – Brown dwarfs

MMIRS 3

Science Drivers – Star formation at high redshift

MMIRS 4

Basic Operational Modes

• Imaging• 7 x 7 arcminute FOV• 0.2 arcsecond pixels• Y, J, H & K wavelength coverage

• Spectroscopy• Multi-slit (4’x7’) or longslit (7’)

– J, H, K @ R=3000– H+K @ R=1400

Plan for next 6 months

• Detector characterization in test dewar

• Assemble main housings and G-10 rings

• Thermal/vacuum testing in September

• Build and test MOS wheel mechanism

• Finish remaining mechanical drawings
