---+ Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) at Palomar TWiki <TABLE border="0" width="900" cols="2"> <TR> <TD width="450" valign='top'> ---++Introduction _From the [[http://astro.nuigalway.ie/research.php?id=4#people][GASP web site at NUI]]_: The Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) is an ultra-high-speed, full Stokes, astronomical imaging polarimeter based upon a Division of Amplitude Polarimeter. It has been developed to resolve extremely rapid (~ms) variations in objects such as optical pulsars and magnetic cataclysmic variables. ---++Project Status GASP has been tested on the sky in February 2011, with further tests planned for 2012. The effort to modify GASP for visiting use at P200 is in the conceptual design phase. </TD> <TD width="500" valign='top'> ---++Partnership GASP at Palomar is a collaboration between scientists at NUI Galway and Caltech. The instrument PI is Andy Shearer. The local PI coordinating the instrument visit to Palomar is Gregg Hallinan. Contributors to GASP include Mike Redfern, Chris Dainty, Patrick Collins, Brendan Sheehan, Gillian Kyne. Contributors toward the Palomar visit include Richard Dekany. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> [[GaspTeamMeetings][Team Meetings and Reviews]]<TABLE border="0" width="950" cols="2"> <TR> <TD width="450" valign='top'> ---++ Project Documentation * Science * [[http://astro.nuigalway.ie/research.php?id=4#people#gaspcase][Science Case]] * Management * [[WBS][Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for GASP visit]] * [[CostScheduleManagement][Cost and Schedule Management]] * [[Meetings][Project Meetings and Reviews]] * Systems Engineering * [[PerformanceBudgets][Performance Budgets and Analysis]] * [[SystemsEngineering][Architecture Definition]] * [[InterfaceControl][Interface Control / ICDs]] * Publications * [[http://astro.nuigalway.ie/files/gkyne/GASP_HTRA.pdf][GASP: High Speed Optical Detectors for Polarimetric Observations]] by Brendan Sheehan, Gillian Kyne, Patrick Collins, Mike Redfern and Andy Shearer (.pdf, 657Kb) * [[http://astro.nuigalway.ie/gasp-files/stokespol1.pdf][An Ultra-High-Speed Stokes Polarimeter for Astronomy]] by R.Michael Redfern and Patrick P.Collins (.pdf, 492Kb) * [[http://astro.nuigalway.ie/gasp-files/PhotonicPoster.pdf][Design, Construction and Calibration of the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP)]] by Patrick Collins, R.
