20-September-2008 09:55:58 - Gran Telescopio Canarias Gran Telescopio Canarias, 2006. Gran Telescopio Canarias, 2006. The telescope under construction in 2002. The telescope under construction in 2002. The Gran Telescopio Canarias GTC Great Telescope Canary Islands, sometimes called GranTeCan, is a 10.4 m reflecting telescope and is undertaking commissioning observations at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma, Spain. The telescope is sited on a volcanic peak 2,400 metres above sea level and took 7 years to construct. The GTC Project is a partnership formed by several institutions from Spain, Mexico, and the University of Florida USA and an initiative from the Instituto de AstrofÃsica de Canarias IAC. The construction of the telescope is estimated to have cost €130 million. Contents 1 CanariCam 2 First Light 3 See also 4 References 5 External links CanariCam The University of Florida's CanariCam, a Day One instrument of GTC i.e., operational from the start of observations, is a mid-infrared imager with spectroscopic, coronagraphic, and polarimetric capabilities, which will be mounted initially at the Nasmyth focus of the telescope. In the future, when the Cassegrain focus of the telescope is commissioned, it is expected that CanariCam will move to this focus, which will provide superior performance with the instrument. CanariCam is designed as a diffraction-limited imager. It is optimised as an imager, and although it will offer a range of other observing modes, these will not compromise the imaging capability. The fact that CanariCam offers polarimetry and coronagraphy in addition to the more standard imaging and spectroscopic modes makes it an extremely versatile and powerful instrument that is unique in the world. CanariCam will work in the thermal infrared between ~7.5 and 25 micrometres. At the short wavelength end the cut-off is determined by the atmosphere and specifically atmospheric water vapour. At the long wavelength end the cut-off is determined by the detector; this loses sensitivity beyond ~24 micrometres, although the cut-off for individual detectors varies significantly. CanariCam is a very compact design. It is expected that the total weight of the cryostat and its on-telescope electronics will be under 400 kg. Most previous mid-infrared instruments have used liquid helium as a cryogen. One of the requirements of CanariCam though is that it should require no expensive and difficult to handle cryogens. CanariCam will use a two-stage closed cycle cryocooler system to cool the cold optics and cryostat interior down to approximately 28 K, and the detector itself to around 8 K, the temperature at which the detector works most efficiently. First Light The GTC started preliminary observing on 13 July 2007 following an opening ceremony using 12 segments of its primary mirror later to be increased to a total of 36 hexagonal segments fully controlled by an active optics control system. The facility is expected to be fully operational by May 2008.12 Its Day One instruments are OSIRIS, CanariCam and ELMER.3 See also List of largest optical reflecting telescopes References ^ Tests begin on Canaries telescope BBC 14 July 2007 ^ Giant telescope begins scouring space July 14, 2007 ^ GTC - ELMER External links Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Gran Telescopio Canarias Gran Telescopio Canarias GTC News Instituto de AstrofÃsica de Canarias IAC University of Florida CanariCam Spanish Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y TecnologÃa de México Spanish Instituto de AstronomÃa de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México CBC article - Giant Canary Islands telescope captures first light Images Coordinates: 28°45'24N, 17°53'30W v d e University of Florida Academics College of Medicine · Levin College of Law · College of Engineering · Warrington College of Business Administration · Fisher School of Accounting · College of Pharmacy · College of Dentistry · College of Veterinary Medicine · College of Journalism and Communications · College of Public Health and Health Professions · Rinker School of Building Construction · College of Nursing · College of Liberal Arts and Sciences · College of Health and Human Performance · College of Agricultural and Life Sciences · College of Education · College of Design Construction and Planning · College of Fine Arts · Bob Graham Center for Public Service · Continuing Education Athletics Southeastern Conference · Florida Gators · University Athletic Association · Gator Football · Gator Basketball · Ben Hill Griffin Stadium · Stephen C.
