David Henry,Mark Casali,David Montgomery,Keith Burch,Ken Laidlaw,Derek Ives,Andrew J. A. Vick,Alan Bridger,David Lunney,Andrew J. Adamson,Nicholas P. Rees,Tomas Chylek,Timothy C. Chuter +12 more
TL;DR: The UKIRT Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) as discussed by the authors is a wide field infrared camera for the UK Infrared Telescope, designed to produce large scale infrared surveys, which uses a novel quasi-Schmidt camera type design with the camera mounted above the UKIRT primary mirror.
