ROSIE-IFU

ROSIE-IFU is an image-slicing integral field unit for use with the IMACS spectrograph on the Magellan 1 telescope.  ROSIE-IFU was built to accommodate up to 4 image slicers with 21 slices each.  The current configuration of ROSIE-IFU has two image slicers with 41 slices (one of the slices is missing).  Each slice is 52 arcseconds long and 0.6 arcsec wide, so the area covered by the IFU field is 52 x 26 arcsec.

ROSIE-IFU was designed, assembled, tested and installed in IMACS by Steve Shectman, Rosalie McGurk and Leon Aslan at Carnegie Science Observatories.  Parts were fabricated in the Carnegie Science Observatories machine shop and by commercial vendors.  Construction of ROSIE-IFU was supported by a grant from the Heising-Simons Foundation to Shectman and Chung-Pei Ma at the University of California, Berkeley, and by Carnegie Science.
