Research Abstract

Seven common-use astronomical instruments and one adaptive optics system for the Subaru telescope have been completed. Each of the instruments has a world top-level performance and many functions and they allow the Subaru telescope to demonstrate its high performance in astronomical observation. The seven instruments and the adaptive optics system are the follows : (1) AO - Subaru Adaptive Optics system - delivers diffraction-limited images in the near infrared. (2) CIAO - Coronagraphic Imager with Adaptive Optics - provides a near-infrared imaging capability in the vicinity of bright sources. (3) COMICS - Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrograph - provides imaging and spectroscopy from 8-20 microns. (4) FOGAS - Faint Object Camera And Spectrograph - provides optical imaging and longslit and multi-slit spectroscopy over a 6 arcmin field of view. (5) HDS - High Dispersion Spectrograph - provides extremely high-resolution optical spectroscopy. (6) IRCS - Infrared Camera and Spectrograph - provides imaging from 1-5 microns, and low resolution and echelle spectroscopy over the same range. (7) OHS/CISCO - OH Suppressor/Cooled Infrared Spectrograph and Camera for OHS - provides imaging and low-resolution spectroscopy in the near-infrared. (8) Suprime-Cam - Subaru Prime Focus Camera - provides optical imaging over a large field of view with a mosaic ofCCDs. In addition, some test instruments for performance verification of the telescope were developed. Fundamental development for the second-generation common-use instruments, i. e. FMOS - prime-focus multi object Spectrograph, and MOICS - multi object infrared camera and Spectrograph, were also made.
