4 NOAO telescope call Nov 18, 2009 NOAO > KPNO Home Announcement of Opportunity for Large Science Programs Providing New Observing Capabilities for the Mayall 4m Telescope on Kitt Peak NOAO announces an opportunity to partner with NOAO and the National Science Foundation to pursue a large science program with the Mayall 4-meter telescope on Kitt Peak and to develop a major observing capability (instrument, software, and archival plans) for the Mayall 4-meter telescope of the Kitt Peak National Observatory for the purpose of enabling large, high impact science programs and improving the capabilities provided as part of the U.S. System of ground-based optical and near-ir telescopes. Projects that use a diverse range of observing requirements (e.g. time of year, lunar phase, etc.) are encouraged. The dual goals of the large science program, as discussed in a recent edition of NOAO Currents are to enable frontier science and to improve the U.S. system of ground-based ØIR facilities. Although there are no restrictions on the type or scale David Schlegel of instrument, NOAO encourages proposals that will build 4 on the Mayall telescope s strengths, utilizing its unique wide-field capabilities. NOAO has investigated potential

17 BigBOSS instrument: corrector Prime Focus Corrector has eight elements (four corrector, four ADC/corrector) Corrector elements are Corning fused silica ADC elements are Schott LLF1 and N-BK7 Telecentric Chief Ray Normal design to maximize fiber injection efficiency Largest element 1.13-m (current baseline) ADC not critical if fibers can be positioned at interesting lambda per object ADCs LLF1 N-BK7 Focal Surface C4 Fused Silica C3 Fused Silica Ask Peter Doel about details C2 Fused Silica C1 Fused Silica 17
18 Why a large focal plane? BigBOSS 1-m focal plane at f/4.5 Physical space for fibers: 5x larger than DES, 2.8x HyperSuprime Fibers are 120 micron -- smaller == worse Large fiber positioners easier, tolerances easier Focal ratio degradation not as significant at slow f/5 FRD data for BOSS 120 μ fibers at f/5 FRD at f/2.5 Some light degraded by ~0.5 deg Spectrographs designed to accept S.B. * r 2 Some light degraded by ~0.5 deg These photons either lost by internal reflection, or difficult to accept in spectrograph Angle [deg] 18
19 Instrument: Fiber positioners x 5000 R&D at 3 institutions for BigBOSS positioners Challenge to make them small enough (12-mm center-to-center) Reposition time < 60 sec UTSC, China BigBOSS prototypes at 15 mm, 13 mm Berkeley Lab, USA IAA/Granada, Spain David Schlegel
20 BigBOSS instrument: fiber positioners Collaboration with USTC in Hefei, China Experience building 4000 LAMOST fiber positioners 2 rotation axes, 25.4 mm center-to-center spacing Light from one galaxy enters fiber here Challenge is to make these small enough (12mm) Prototype #1: not yet small enough 20

22 BigBOSS instrument: spectrographs Conceptual design, Eric Prieto (LAM/France) Why 3 arms? Higher throughput because of gratings QSO Lyα channel Å at R~3000 e2v CCDs supernova/qso channel Å at R~3000 LBNL CCDs galaxy channel ,600 Å at R~4200 LBNL Extreme Silicon CCDs 22
23 Instrument: Spectrographs x 10 Instrument designed to be a BAO spectrograph Detect emission-line galaxies at z 1.7 This is why we have high resolution! Otherwise sky much brighter! The trick? At z~1 galaxies are forming stars + strong [O II] emission lines Detect these lines between the airglow Galaxy spectrum z~1 Night sky spectrum David Schlegel
24 Instrument: Spectrographs x 10 Instrument designed to be a BAO spectrograph Detect emission-line galaxies at z 1.7 Observed Spectrum Sky-Subtracted Spectrum λ [OII]λ3726, z=1.4 Resolution > 5000 Split [O II] line Work between sky lines Same as DEEP2 survey David Schlegel

27 BigBOSS timeline Apr 2009 White paper Nov 2009 DOE Particle Astrophysics Science Advisory Group (PASAG) BigBOSS is in the early planning stages, but presents a legitimate possibility of achieving a significant fraction of the BAO science goals for JDEM at <$100M cost. Substantial immediate support is recommended for BigBOSS R&D so that ground BAO possibilities are known for timely planning of a coherent ground-space dark energy effort. Nov 2009 NOAO call Large Science Programs Providing New Observing Capabilities for the Mayall 4m Telescope on Kitt Peak Aug 2010 Astro2010 Decadal Survey BigBOSS highly recommended as 1 of 4 Projects Thought Compelling for the Mid-Scale Innovations Program in the cost range $US million. Oct 2010 Telescope proposal submitted Jan 2011 Telescope proposal accepted; begin partnership with NOAO 27
28 BigBOSS timeline Full-sky BAO survey possible by moving instrument south after Kitt Peak 4-m (Northern hemisphere) BigBOSS instrument deployable between sister telescopes Enables massive spectroscopic follow-up for LSST Cerro Tololo 4-m (Southern hemisphere) 28
29 Important decisions/lessons I. Design around BAO requirements (simple!) II. 3 deg diameter FOV allows single exposures on ELGs, double exposures on LRGs, quad exposures on LyAF III. Survey mode could cover 14,000 deg 2 footprint each year IV. R=5000 spectra to see ELGs within sky lines V. Reaching Poisson-limit in sky-subtraction of the data will be critical + computation challenge VI. Full Monte Carlo of the ELGs raw data necessary to understand completeness+contamination Mayall + Blanco telescopes are huge resources A * Ω LSST David Schlegel 29
