Operational Performance of MOSFIRE with Its Cryogenic Configurable Slitmask Unit at the W. M. Keck Observatory
Abstract
The Multi-Object Spectrograph for Infrared Exploration (MOSFIRE) achieved first light on the W. M. Keck Observatory's Keck I telescope on 4 April 2012 and quickly became the most popular Keck I instrument. One of the primary reasons for the instrument's popularity is that it uses a configurable slitmask unit developed by the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et Microtechnique (CSEM SA) to isolate the light from up to 46 objects simultaneously. In collaboration with the instrument development team and CSEM engineers, the Keck observatory staff present how MOSFIRE is successfully used, and we identify what contributed to routine and trouble free nighttime operations.
