  3. Motivations GMT 2010 Korea - 2010 October 4-6

  4. Motivation - IFS • AO-corrected integral-field spectroscopy was pioneered on 8-10m telescopes • NIFS on Gemini, SINFONI on VLT, OSIRIS on Keck • These have enabled “AO spectroscopy” • It is now an essential feature on ~30 m telescopes • Imaging studies brightnesses, colors, morphology • Spectroscopy studies kinematics, excitation, physical processes GMT 2010 Korea - 2010 October 4-6

  5. Motivation - GMT • Deliver better angular resolution withLaser Tomography Adaptive Optics (LTAO) • Diffraction-limited FWHM on GMT is ~ 16 mas at 1.6 μm • Black-hole masses, protoplanetary disks • Diffraction-limited sampling, small FOV • Collect more light from faint objects • Partial AO correction, but not diffraction limit • Galaxy dynamics: 0.05 arcsec sampling, 3 arcsec FOV • GMTIFS will benefit in both these ways GMT 2010 Korea - 2010 October 4-6

  6. GMTIFS – Overview • Near-infrared; 1-2.5 μm • Single-object, AO-corrected, integral-field spectroscopy • Primary science instrument • Two spectral resolutions: R = 5000 (Δv = 60 km/s) & 10000 (Δv = 30 km/s) • Range of spatial sampling and fields of view: • Narrow-field, AO-corrected, imaging camera • Secondary science instrument • 5 mas/pixel, 20.4× 20.4 arcsec FOV • Acquisition camera for IFS • NIR tip-tilt wave front sensor • 150 arcsecdiam. guide field • Flat-field and wavelength calibration GMT 2010 Korea - 2010 October 4-6
