SAMPLE DATA FOR QUEUE-MODE OBSERVERS




This page gives samples of some commonly-used data acquisition methods which you will encounter in the queue. It is for the use of support scientists in introducing you to the queue, and for TSSs and yourself to refer to at the summit in the event of uncertainty over data quality. The examples no more than pointers to what to expect; most were taken in reasonably good conditions, so don't expect one-to-one correspondence between what you see here and the incoming data on a given night.


Runup/Rundown


Examples of good runup/rundown frames (array tests, etc.) for all three primary Cassegrain instruments






Imaging

Examples of K-band UFTI imaging frames & mosaics



Example of UFTI (JH)K imaging of faint targets



UIST (JH)K imaging of extended fields


UIST Spectroscopy

UIST spectroscopy of bright stars



UIST spectroscopy of galaxies (example in Short-H)



UIST short & long grism spectroscopy of fainter things - TBD



UIST IFU spectroscopy (including L band)
