HARMONI at ELT: a virtual instrument to get ready for the real one
17 June 2024 • 17:30 - 19:00 Japan Standard Time | Room G5, North - 1F
Abstract
HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT, covering a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000. As part of the project, CRAL has developed an instrument numerical model capable of generating synthetic detector read-outs for both calibration and science exposures. This simulator plays a key role in developing robust pipeline algorithms, elaborating instrument calibration procedures, offering feedback on the instrument's design and contributing to the validatation the instrument's scientific goals.
