A Modular Spectrograph for Michigan-Dartmouth-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Observatory

建造一个几乎完全相同的复制成功的拉斯维加斯 Campanas模块化光谱仪，在监督下建造， 共同主要研究者，拟用于Hiltner 2.4血糖仪 位于基特峰的密歇根-达特茅斯-麻省理工学院天文台的望远镜。 摄谱仪的分辨率将比普通摄谱仪高10倍。 现有的棱镜光谱仪，并且允许长狭缝和多狭缝 在7弧分的视场内工作。 十四个独立的项目， 进一步努力的教师和工作人员的科学家 财团机构，将进行使用 摄谱仪 其中包括大型结构的方案， 宇宙及其相关的速度场，活动星系 星系的结构和恒星成分，超新星 遗迹，原恒星物体，catalclysmic变星和 白色矮星。

The construction of a nearly identical copy of the successful Las Campanas Modular Spectrograph, built under the supervision of the Co-Principal Investigator, is proposed for the Hiltner 2.4 meter Telescope of the MIchigan-Dartmouth-MIT Observatory on Kitt Peak. The spectrograph will give a factor of 10 more resolution than the present grism spectrograph, and would allow long slit and multislit work over a 7 arcminute field. Fourteen separate programs, furthering the efforts of the faculty and staff scientists of the consortium institutions, will be carried out using the spectrograph. These include programs on large scale structures in the Universe and their associated velocity fields, active galactic nuclei, the structure and stellar content of galaxies, supernovae remnants, protostellar objects, catalclysmic variable stars and white dwarf.
