ZTF Detector/Filter Combinations P. Jelinsky 2013-02-19
Optics Outline • Look at different number of detectors • Can the sky be tiled? • Do not consider gaps. • Do not consider mapping unto a sphere • Can it use fixed filters efficiently • Does it have a viable stagable option?
7 detectors • Cannot use fixed filters efficiently (since odd number of detectors) • Can tile the sky efficiently • No feasible stagable options. • Maximum off axis angle: 3.2° Tile Example No Vignetting 10%Vignetting 20%Vignetting 30%Vignetting
8 detectors • Can use fixed filters efficiently • Can tile the sky efficiently • Has a feasible stagable option. • Start with 4 detectors along center line • Maximum off axis angle: 3.6° Fixed Filter Layout 4 Filter Stage No Vignetting 10%Vignetting 20%Vignetting 30%Vignetting
8 detectors (cont) Tile Example Fixed Filter Tile Example (Shift 2 detectors horizontal) (then shift 2 detectors vertical)
9 detectors • Cannot use fixed filters efficiently • Can tile the sky efficiently • No feasible stagable option. • Maximum off axis angle: 3.8° Tile Example No Vignetting 10%Vignetting 20%Vignetting 30%Vignetting
10 detectors • Can use fixed filters efficiently • Can tile the sky efficiently • Has feasible stagable option. • 6 detectors • Maximum off axis angle: 3.8° Fixed Filter Layout 6 Detector Stage No Vignetting 10%Vignetting 20%Vignetting 30%Vignetting
10 detectors (cont) Tile Example Filter Tile Example (Do tile pattern to left) (then shift 1 detectors horizontal)
12 detectors • Can use fixed filters efficiently • Can tile the sky efficiently • Has feasible stagable option. • 8 detectors • Maximum off axis angle: 4.1° Fixed Filter Layout 8 Detector Stage No Vignetting 10%Vignetting 20%Vignetting 30%Vignetting
12 detectors (cont) Tile Example Filter Tile Example (Shift 2 detectors horizontal) (then shift 3 detectors vertical)
Conclusion • 12 detector option is the most flexible • Can come on line early with 8 detectors (if needed) • Can use fixed filters (if acceptable) • Can tile the sky efficiently • The major issue is cost
