InfraRed Multiobject Spectrograph (IRMS) for TMT TWiki

Introduction

IRMS is a powerful early-light, adaptive optics-fed, reconfigurable near-infrared multi-object spectrograph (MOS) based on the architecture of the MOSFIRE spectrograph developed for Keck Observatory (2005-2011).

Project Status

IRMS is in a mini-conceptual design phase, concentrating on design changes arising from recent updates to the NFIRAOS optical design. Key goals are to understand the implication of the changes to field and pupil curvature to the previously developed IRMS concept designs, evaluate the impact of these changes to the thermal design of the large cryo-vacuum enclosure, and develop conceptual cost and schedule estimates for construction.

Partnership

The current IRMS study is a partnership between Caltech and University of California, Riverside, based on the MOSFIRE architecture developed by Caltech, UCLA, and UCSC. The Project Scientist is Prof. Bahram Mobasher, UCR. The study manager is Dr. Richard Dekany, Caltech Optical Observatories.

The partnerships for preliminary/detailed design and construction of IRMS is not yet determined.
