  3. Key Requirement: to realize the full scientific potential of a diffraction-limited 30m telescope TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  4. Goals for Instrumentation Program • Maximize scientific output • Input: extensive discussions about scientific priorities with SAC, feasibility studies, community meetings (e.g. Irvine ELT Science meeting, 2007) • Attempt to pace the design and development effort to take advantage of latest innovations • Maintain versatility and options • Deliver cost effective state-of-the-art instruments for first light • Ensure that entire Observatory system is optimized to produce the best possible science • Establish telescope and observatory requirements and interfaces for instruments of all types • Establish costs and schedules • Understand risks and mitigation strategies • Develop plans for ongoing instrument development TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  5. Instrumentation Philosophy • Using world-class teams, develop best possible instrument concepts to meet the scientific requirements • Attempt to engage whole astronomical community, including international partnerships • Plan to utilize (and help sustain) partnership expertise and experience • Build on successful Keck model for instruments (instrument teams stay involved) • Keep TMT instrumentation development staff to a minimum • Fully utilize partners and wider community • Minimal in-house development TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  6. Science Flowdown => SRD Instrument Suite TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  7. Instruments are all located on two large Nasmyth structures NIRES-B IRIS (bottom port) HROS WIRC NFIRAOS WFOS PFI APS MIRAO/ MIRES IRMOS TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  8. NFIRAOS feeds 3 instruments • Dual conjugate AO system • Better Strehl and larger field than current systems (despite being harder for a 30m!) (WIRC) NFIRAOS IRMS (NIRES) IRIS • Completely integrated system • Fast (<5 min) switch between targets • High sky coverage, even at galactic poles • VLT/MAD results demonstrate MCAO potential TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  9. TMT Instrument Feasibility Studies2005-6 • An Announcement of Opportunity for feasibility studies for 8 instruments and conceptual design for NFIRAOS was issued widely to potential institutions across North America in early 2005 • Feasibility studies launched in Apr 2005; reviewed in Mar 2006 • IRIS (UCLA and Caltech) • MIRES (NOAO and U Hawaii) + NIRES mini-study • WFOS (HIA) and GLAO plus a “MILES costing study” at Caltech • PFI (LLNL, JPL, U de Montreal) • HROS: 2 studies - UCSC and U Colorado • IRMOS: 2 studies - U Florida and Caltech plus MOAO at UCSC • Major collaborations formed • ~200 scientists and engineers involved; at 34 US institutions, 10 Canadian, 2 French institutions • Reviewed by panels of international experts (35 reviewers) => Produced performance, cost and schedule estimates for feasible instruments, requirements for the telescope system, identified risks, developed concepts for operation TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  10. Feasibility studies 2005-6(concepts, requirements, performance,…) IRIS MIRES HROS-UCSC HROS-CASA PFI TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01 WFOS-HIA IRMOS-UF IRMOS-CIT

  11. Feasibility studies 2005-6(concepts, requirements, performance,…) IRIS MIRES HROS-UCSC HROS-CASA The SRD instrument suite is likely to be representative of TMT instruments • Seeing-limited and diffraction-limited • UV to MIR • High Contrast imaging • All field sizes up to 20 arcmin => It should be appropriate for defining global instrument requirements => It should provide flexibility for future instruments to respond to science that can’t yet be foreseen. PFI TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01 WFOS-HIA IRMOS-UF IRMOS-CIT

  12. Overall Conclusions from feasibility studies • 30m instruments are challenging but feasible • Some require up to ~10 years and some cost >$60M • Some examples • HROS: High Resolution Optical Spectrometer • Spectral resolution: R=50,000 for 1” slit, R=90,000 with slicer => Characteristic size 10m, large optics, cost up to $50M • IRMOS: NIR deployable IFU spectrometer fed by MOAO • >10 IFU over 5’ field of regard => Complex, MOAO not mature, cost up to $75M (for 20 dIFU) • NIRES: Diffraction-limited NIR Echelle Spectrometer • 20,000 < R < 100,000 => Straightforward, cost ~$11M • Total cost ($2006 base year) of SRD instruments (no contingency, no AM2), based on estimates from feasibility studies ~$223M + supporting AO systems ~$57M, i.e., > $280M TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  13. Early Light Instrument suite established in late 2006 • Instrument priorities set by SAC (incl. US community members): “Workhorse” scientific capabilities, synergy with JWST and ALMA • IRIS (Infrared Imager and Integral Field Spectrograph) • WFOS (Wide Field multiobject Optical Spectrograph • IRMS (Infrared Multi-slit Spectrograph and imager) • Excellent science • Exploits huge gains in wide range of science at the NIR diffraction limit • Good balance of capabilities for “flagship” science as well significant “discovery” potential • Broad range of science enabled • Good early light suite • Broad range of wavelengths, spectral and spatial resolution • Seeing-limited and diffraction-limited • All three are modest extrapolations of current 8-10m instruments • Relatively simple to quickly commission • Will provide excellent PR! TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  14. Early Light Instrument teams(Aug 2007 announcement) • “Goal is to form strong teams, mostly from within TMT partnership, that will be able to deliver the best possible instruments that meet the science requirements, on schedule and within budget” • “Strong science teams will be essential for success of instruments • Develop detailed requirements, provide simulations of performance, examine tradeoffs, assist in testing, identify commissioning targets, determine optimal observing strategies, participate in early light observations, publish first data” • “Broad representation of TMT science and partners desired” => Conceptual designs for the first light instruments are in progress • Future instruments will be started in ~2013, subject to availability of development funds. These are expected to be competed and open to the broader community. Teams for these instruments are mostly already formed, although additions to teams and other contributions are welcome, especially in certain areas. TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  20. TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  21. IR Multi-Slit Spectrometer(IRMS) • IRMOS (deployable MOAO IFUs) deemed too risky/expensive for first light • => IRMS: clone of Keck MOSFIRE, first step towards IRMOS • Multi-slit NIR imaging spectro: • 46 slits,W: 160+ mas, L: 2.5” • Deployed behind NFIRAOS • 2’ field • 60mas pixels • EE good (80% in K over 30”) • Spectral resolution up to 5000 • Full Y, J, H, K spectra (one at a time) • Images entire 2’ field Slit width Whole 120” field TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  24. “TMT prototype” MOSFIRE integration and test proceeding well MOSFIRE in Caltech Lab TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  25. A Key IRMS Project: Exploring the Early Universe • Early Sources and cosmic reionization • Synergy with JWST and 21cm surveys: Expect JWST to detect brightest sources in each ionized bubble. TMT, with AO, should go 1 mag fainter (or more if objects are physically small) • TMT IRIS, IRMS and NIRES will study detailed properties of first galaxies and influence on IGM • Pop III stars (intense HeII 1640) • Tracing SF (Ly Alpha) in ionized bubbles • Escape fraction from Ly alpha profiles • IGM at z > 7 using quasars or GRBs Unlensed sizes ~30mas IRMS science team now being formed, led by Bahram Mobasher (UCR) TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  26. Efficient Operation:Observation Workflow • Target acquisition • < 5 minutes including slewing, configuring, finding target, setting up AO system • Instrument changes • < 10minutes to opening shutter Example: Part of IRIS LGS sequence (40 subtasks) TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  27. Efficient Operation:Observation Workflow • Target acquisition • < 5 minutes including slewing, configuring, finding target, setting up AO system • Instrument changes • < 10minutes to opening shutter Example: Part of IRIS LGS sequence (40 subtasks) Studied extensively - Vital input to requirements of all observatory subsystems • Report available “Observation Workflow for TMT” TMT.AOS.TEC.07.013 VERY Challenging but both key timing requirements appear feasible TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  28. Rapid Response Example:GRBs and TMT • GRBs are very bright but only briefly • Expect a significant fraction at very high redshift • GRBs are point sources - D4 advantage with AO => Potential for high S/N, high resolution spectra • Physics of extreme events and objects at high z • IGM studies at high z • Instruments: • WFOS measurements of redshift, physical conditions • IRIS imaging and IFS with R = 4000 • Detection and IFU spectroscopy of host galaxies • NIRES (AO fed) R = 50,000 spectroscopy over 0.8 - 2.5mu • Time sequences of high S/N spectra of high z objects • MIRES: R = 100,000 spectroscopy in 5-28micron region • HROS: R = 50,000 spectroscopy in 0.3 - 1micron region GRB090423 TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  29. Development of Future Instruments TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  30. Objectives • Capabilities similar to the first decade suite are required to fulfill TMT science requirements • Community will want additional capabilities ASAP • Upgrade to an adaptive secondary (AM2) will globally improve performance and simplify some systems • Upgrade NFIRAOS to 130nm WFE as per SRD (high strehl in J band) will improve performance • Maintain TMT at forefront of international astronomical research Teams for these instruments are completely open TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  31. Example of Future Instruments: HROS UCSC Concept PI: Vogt Co-I: Rockosi • Classic echelle • 12m * 16m • 3m off-axis parabolic collimators • 1.3m camera lenses • Huge echelle • 5x8 mosaic of gratings • 1m x 3.5m 12m * 16m * 4m! TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  32. Example of Future Instruments: HROS CASA Concept Completely new concept, using high performance dichroics (PI: Froning) Transmission of actual Barr filter for ACS is ~95% TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  33. HROS Science Cases • Detailed abundance measurements for stars as faint as V~20. Abundance measurements will be made for main-sequence stars in nearby globular clusters, large samples of giant stars throughout the Galactic halo and bulge and samples of giant stars in galaxies throughout the Local Group. • Doppler-based searches for extra-solar planets. The existing searches for extra-solar planets based on measuring extremely precise ( < 2 m/sec) will be extended to lower-mass (and statistically fainter) stars and therefore be sensitive to lower-mass planets. With increased S/N, detailed line-shape analysis will also make it possible to further increase the velocity precision of the measurements and push to smaller planet masses. • Abundances, kinematics and physical conditions in the inter-galactic medium to z~7. Absorption-line studies using QSOs with I≤20 will provide measurements of element abundances in the IGM throughout most of the history of the Universe. Gas kinematics, physical conditions and the correlation functions in 3-D will be possible over a large range in z. TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  35. TMT Solar System Capabilities • Spatial resolution (25km at Jupiter) comparable to fly-by space probes (at least in outer solar system) • Spectral resolution (0.3 - 30micron) >> space probes • Sensitivity ~ JWST, ALMA • Good temporal monitoring possible to observe variable phenomena (atmosphere and surface) • Short time scale to respond to transient and unpredictable events • Precision (< 100 microarcsec) astrometry • Precision (< m/s) radial velocities TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  36. TMT Solar System Capabilities • Spatial resolution (25km at Jupiter) comparable to space probes (at least in outer solar system) • Spectral resolution (0.3 - 30micron) >> space probes • Sensitivity ~ JWST, ALMA • Good temporal monitoring possible to observe variable phenomena (atmosphere and surface) • Short time scale to respond to transient and unpredictable events • Precision (< 100 microarcsec) astrometry • Precision (< m/s) radial velocities Small community at present but a lot of public interest: • 2% of HST time spent on solar system => 1/3 of press! TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  37. Guidelines for Future Instruments • Instrument development should be competitive • Caveat: subject to funding, partnership agreements, etc • Will attempt to involve broad community in projects (at a minimum, on the science teams). IRIS is a good example of this. • TMT will provide oversight, monitoring and involvement in all instruments • To ensure compatibility with overall system • To maximize operational efficiency, reliability and minimize cost • To encourage common components and strategies • To ensure that budget and schedules are respected • Priorities expected to be updated every few years by SAC • Cycle time is typically 8-9 years from initial RFP to end of technical commissioning (although only 5-6 years to “build”). • Must start successive instruments soon after construction start TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  38. Typical Development Cycle(2 instruments, one simple, one complex) Construction start First Light Conceptual Design Phase (competitive) Design and build instrument 1 Commission Conceptual Design Phase (competitive) Design and build instrument 2 Commission Choose 2 new Instruments for study BOD decision (scope, funding cap, partner issues) TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  40. Instrument Development Office • Joint AO and INST engineering team that provides oversight for all instrumentation development activities (except routine support) • Initially primarily occupied with WFOS, IRIS, IRMS, NFIRAOS and associated AO systems (Construction budget) • Increasing shift of effort towards support for future instruments and AO systems (DEV budget) • E.g., AO group develops AO requirements, leads performance analysis, and coordinates/manages all subsystem and component development • Manages and provides systems engineering support (including commissioning) for AO systems and instruments • ~5 projects at any given time • 11 FTEs, most likely based in N. America (or Hawaii) TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01

  41. SUMMARY • Three powerful “workhorse” instruments are being developed, ready for first light in 2018 • Next instruments should be commenced immediately after construction starts • To be ready for science starting ~3 yr after first light • Funding must ramp up to ~$20M per yr by ~FY2018 • Additional funding required to deliver the most challenging instruments and their AO systems in a timely fashion TMT.IAO.PRE.09.035.REL01
