Fibre multi-object spectrograph (FMOS) is facility instrument for the Subaru telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The instrument consists of a complex fibre-optic positioning system mounted at the prime focus of the telescope. Fibres are then fed to a pair of large spectrographs, each weighing nearly 3000 kg. The instrument will be used to look at the light from up to 400 stars or galaxies simultaneously over a field of view of 30 arcminutes (about the size of the full moon on the sky). The instrument will be used for a number of key programmes, including galaxy formation and evolution and dark energy via a measurement of the rate at which the universe is expanding.

  • Fibre multi-object spectrograph (FMOS) is facility instrument for the Subaru telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The instrument consists of a complex fibre-optic positioning system mounted at the prime focus of the telescope. Fibres are then fed to a pair of large spectrographs, each weighing nearly 3000 kg. The instrument will be used to look at the light from up to 400 stars or galaxies simultaneously over a field of view of 30 arcminutes (about the size of the full moon on the sky).

  • La spettroscopia multi-oggetto (MOS) è una tecnologia affidabile di recente applicazione maturata nei primi anni del XXI secolo, utilizzata presso la maggior parte dei principali osservatori astronomici di classe medio alta, dai 4 metri in su. I primi esperimenti di questa tecnologia, effettuati verso la fine degli anni '80 hanno rapidamente dimostrato le potenzialità dell'approccio. La tecnologia mira a inserire molte aperture all'ingresso del piano focale dello spettrografo, tipicamente a fessure o fibre. Consentendo di osservare molte fessure / aperture contemporaneamente, i circuiti MOS offrono un importante guadagno multiplex che consentono osservazioni in molto più efficiente. (it)
