• Personnel contribution:– Two AAO scientists (new hires)
– Two years at LCO (Magellan support & research)
– Third year in Australia (research)
• Hiring selection is AAO/Magellan collaboration
• Starts in 2007A
TSIP proposals (selections ~May)
• MMT and Magellan Infrared Spectrograph (MMIRS) Brian McLeod & collaborators, SAO. $917K, 9 Magellan nights in 1 year (and 9 at MMT).
• A Second, Higher-red-sensitivity Mosaic CCD Camera for IMACS (Mosaic2) Alan Dressler & collaborators, Carnegie Observatories. $648K, 15 Magellan nights in one year (community-wide).
• Development of a Magellan Adaptive Secondary Laird Close & collaborators, University of Arizona. $1,356K, 31 Magellan nights over three years
F/5 secondary news
• LBT secondary problems will delay Magellan F/5
• Magellan secondary now expected early 2007
• About 1 year to commission F/5 focal plane
• Ready in time for MMIRS arrival
WFC fit-test
• SAO team fit-checked F/5 Wide Field Corrector
• First test of instrument lift and WFC carts
• Minor modifications being applied
• WFC cells now being fitted with lenses
F/5 WFC fit-check
F/5 WFC fit-check
F/5 secondary cell
• Most parts are machined (cell body, supports)
• See it in the OCIW assembly area
Instrument News
• IMACS dispersers tested– 150 l/mm grism (McCarthy, Dressler)
– LDP “Low Dispersion Prism” (Burles)
• MMTF Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter– Passed Director’s pre-ship review
– Installation starts in a few months
• LDSS– New shutter controller installed
– VPH-ALL grism fabricated
Computing and networking
• CTIO CISS now provides systems administration
• Major network upgrade– Firewall to the world
– Managed routers added
– New mail server to be installed
• CTIO network connection– 45 Mbit/sec to Internet2 from El Pino
– 4 Mbit/sec to El Pino from LCO
Cleanroom
• MMIRS and FourStar are large vacuum systems
• Both have expensive detectors
• Large clean work area needed for:– Particle and volatile contaminant control
– ESD control
• Alternatives:– Ship back to US (risky and lengthy)
– Work in dirty environments (risky, difficult)
