Konidaris, B. Weber| |*Call-in*: R. Dekany| |*Unavailable*: | *Dial-in* * 888-387-8686 * Conference participant ID: 746-0475 *Agenda (tentative)* * 0900 - 0910 Management update - Rich * 0910 - 0930 Technical updates - All *Minutes* * We discussed the basic architectural options for the OIWFS * Strategy is to evaluate the performance vs. sky coverage for a 'one-side', no-incursion, external-to-the-dewar patrolling sensor (similar to IRIS OIWFS), and then address any performance shortfall if necessary * Rich will engage with Brent and Co. to get this started by Dec 2 (hopefully), but in practice this will depend on the weather at Palomar summit * Possible avenues for larger sky coverage if needed: * Allow some incursion into spectroscopic FoV (probably diminishing gains because an external patroller is so far from focal plane) * 'Two-sided' dual OIWFS to patrol each side without incursion * Focus sensing strategy may impact performance as well (e.g. 2x2 SH WFS v. pyramid v. separate (slower) focus sensor(s)) *Meeting schedule* * The next IRMS team meeting will be in 2 weeks: Tuesday, Dec 13 at 9a. *Outstanding Actions* * Rich to work with TMTO (Brent) to assess suitability of external OIWFS in terms of sky coverage and performance (by Dec 2) * Rich to make written request to WMKO (Sean) to support MOSFIRE cost detail in support of the IRMS estimate (by Dec 15) * Rich to contact UCLA (Ian) to request UCLA detail MOSFIRE cost breakdown (by Dec 10)
