  1. Requirements on array detectors from the OWL Instrument Concept Studies Sandro D’Odorico European Southern Observatory SDW 2005 TAORMINA

  2. OWL INSTRUMENT CONCEPT STUDIES Framework, Scope, Status • 8 Instrument Studies were launched in 2004 by ESO in the framework of the 100m OWL Concept Study, • The present set of instruments cover the spectral range from the blue to sub-mm with different scientific field of views and image quality requirements • The scope of the studies is: • to support the OWL science cases • to verify with actual instrument concepts interfaces and operation scheme of the telescope design • to check feasibility of instrument concepts and identify needs and required R&D for the different subsystems The Instrument Concept Study final Reports are due in September-October 2005. This advanced overview of the detectors requirements is based on the work in progress. Thanks to the P.I.s! SDW _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 2

  4. Cosmic Dynamics EXperiment Concept Study carried out by ESO, Cambridge, Geneve and INAF Oss. Trieste Portion of the Ly  forest at z=3 Main Goal A direct measurement of the cosmic acceleration Obtained by comparing high resolution spectra of the Ly  forest and metal systems in the direction of bright QSOs over a large time interval (10 years or more) Simulation of the difference between 2 epochs SDW 2005 _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 4

  5. Cosmic Dynamics EXperiment Concept Study carried out by ESO, Cambridge, Geneve and INAF Trieste Requirements Spectral range: 400-650 nm Resolution 100000-150000 Stability 1cm/s with long term absolute calibration Concept The light is sent to 5 separate echelle spectrographs a la HARPS (in vacuum, at very stable T) Detector estate The spectra are spread out over 60 2K x 4K CCD (15 pixel). Within a factor of 2, depending on telescope size and resolution. r.o.n 1-2 e-,d.c. 1e/pix/h Camera Echelle mosaic 22 x 170 cm SDW 2005 _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 4b

  6. Earth-like Planet Imaging Camera Spectrograph Concept study by ESO and a number of scientists and engineers from different institutes in F, I, D,NL and SUI • EPICS starting point are the current studies for the Planet Finder at the VLT • The instrument aims at the detection and characterization of earth-like planets • The AO system for this instrument is expected to be a combination of the standard system offered by the telescope + an EXAO internal to the instrument • The observing modes being presently considered are Differential Imaging, Polarimetry and Integral Field Spectroscopy in the visual and Y,J bands SDW 2005 _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 5a

  8. QUANTEYE Concept Study carried out by Dept.of Astronomy, Univ. Padova and Observatory, Univ. Lund (P.I.s C. Barbieri and D.Dravins) • Ultra-fast photometer for Quantum Astronomy • Main mode: to study the single photon arrival time statistics at the largely unexplored 10-3 -10 -9 second resolution. Large advantage from telescope size when studying photon correlation. • Wavelength range 400-700 nm, target on axis + reference in the 3 arcmin field, 2D resolution not required, • Single photon counting detectors with required ns resolution , high efficiency, low dark current SDW 2005 _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 6

  10. Large-Field NIR Camera Concept Study carried out by INAF-Arcetri and MPIfA Heidelberg (P.I. R. Ragazzoni) • J,H,K; central field (30-60 arcsec diameter sampled at ~diffraction limit); outer field 3-6 arcmin. Choice dictated by AO performance, science case, cost and complexity. • MCAO using 2-3 DM for the central part, GLAO for the outer part • Detector Requirements • Central field of 30” sampled at 1mas (Nyquist at K)  15 x15 (2K x 2K)Hg Cd Te arrays (or 8 x 8 (4K x 4K), 12m pixels) • Outer field (e.g. 3’ x 3’) with a 10mas sampling  9 x 9 (2K x 2K)Hg Cd Te arrays SDW 2005 _ 20.6.2005_S.D’Odorico/ 7
