Final design and progress of WEAVE: the next generation wide-field spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the final design of the WEAVE next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), together with a status update on the details of manufacturing, integration and overall project schedule now that all the major fabrication contracts are in place.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and development of a freeform active mirror for an astronomy application

TL;DR: The combined hydroformed mirror and the active array comprise the Freeform Active Mirror Experiment, which will produce an accurate, compact, and stable freeform optics dedicated to visible and near-infrared observations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Construction progress of WEAVE: The next generation wide-field spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope

TL;DR: An update on the overall construction progress of the WEAVE next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), now that all the major fabrication contracts are in place.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Opto-mechanical design for transmission optics in cryogenic IR instrumentation

TL;DR: In this article, the opto-mechanical design of optics mountings, especially for large transmission optics in cryogenic conditions, is discussed, and the development of temperature-invariant ("a-thermal"), kinematic designs and how they are implemented in instruments such as SPIFFI and X-shooter are described.
