Proceedings ArticleDOI
VIRUS: a massively replicated 33k fiber integral field spectrograph for the upgraded Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Gary J. Hill,Hanshin Lee,Brian L. Vattiat,Joshua J. Adams,Jennifer L. Marshall,Niv Drory,Darren L. DePoy,Guillermo A. Blanc,Ralf Bender,John A. Booth,Taylor S. Chonis,Mark E. Cornell,Karl Gebhardt,John M. Good,Frank Grupp,Roger Haynes,Andreas Kelz,Phillip J. MacQueen,Nick Mollison,J. D. Murphy,Marc D. Rafal,William Rambold,Markus Roth,Richard Savage,Michael P. Smith +24 more
TL;DR: The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) as discussed by the authors is the first example of industrial-scale replication applied to optical astronomy and is capable of spectral surveys of large areas of sky.

TL;DR: The SPIFFI (SPECTROMETER for Infrared Faint Field Imaging) was developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE, Eisenhauer et al. 2000).
Kinematic signatures of bulges correlate with bulge morphologies and s
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Marcario Low Resolution Spectrograph at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope to study the kinematics of pseudobulges and classical bulges in the nearby universe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wendelstein Calar Alto Pixellensing Project (WeCAPP): the M 31 variable star catalogue
TL;DR: The WeCAPP catalogue of variable stars found in the bulge of M 31 as mentioned in this paper contains the positions, the periods, and the variation amplitudes in the R and I bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding structures in photometric redshift galaxy surveys: an extended friends-of-friends algorithm
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the friends-of-friends (FOF) structure-finding algorithm was proposed to locate groups or clusters of galaxies in photometric redshift data sets.
