Detector Development for a Wide-Field Infrared Survey Capability for Magellan

AST-0138278 Ehrson，Sven E.将完成用于Las Campanas的卡内基DEEPSIX仪器的六个2048 x2048夏威夷-2 RG探测器的技术开发和采购。这是一台用于麦哲伦II 6.5米望远镜F5.4焦距的大画幅近红外相机。 观测时间的很大一部分用于大面积的深度调查，包括与国家光学天文台合作开展的一些项目。美国天文学家社区的广泛代表将参与这项工作。***

AST-0138278Persson, Sven E.The technical development and acquisition of six 2048x2048 HAWAII-2RG detectors for the Carnegie's DEEPSIX instrument to be used at Las Campanas will be completed. This is a large format near infrared camera for the F5.4 focus of the Magellan II 6.5 meter telescope. A significant fraction of the observing time is dedicated to large area deep surveys, including a number of programs carried out in concert with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. A broad cross-section of the US community of astronomers will be engaged with this work. ***
