Plenary Event
Sunday Plenary: Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V
17 July 2022 • 18:30 - 19:30 PDT | Room 517d
Moderator:
René Doyon, Univ. de Montréal (Canada)
Speakers:
Solange Ramirez, Carnegie Observatories (USA)
Richard Pogge, The Ohio State Univ. (USA)
Cynthia Froning, The Univ. of Texas at Austin (USA)
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is the first dual hemisphere, multi-epoch, optical and infrared astronomical survey providing multi-object and integral field spectroscopy across the Milky Way and other galaxies. SDSS-V has constructed a variety of new instrumentation, including a new 3-element wide-field corrector for the SDSS 2.5m telescope, dual multi-fiber robotic focal plane systems, and a new facility with four small telescopes and three fiber-fed optical spectrographs for integral field observations. We will describe this new infrastructure in the context of our 3 flagship science programs: the Milky Way Mapper, the Black Hole Mapper, and the Local Volume Mapper.
Biography: Solange V. Ramirez is an astronomer and project manager at the Carnegie Observatories. She has a PhD in Astrophysics from OSU (2000) and a MS in Systems Engineering from UCLA (2017). She has worked on science support and data management for space missions including Spitzer, Kepler, and Roman, and as the deputy lead of the NASA Exoplanet Archive. In 2018, she joined the Carnegie Observatories as the project manager for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V.
Biography: Richard Pogge, College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at The Ohio State University, is an observational astrophysicist and instrument builder specializing in ground-based OIR imaging and spectroscopy. He has a Physics BS from Caltech (1983) and Astrophysics PhD from UC Santa Cruz (1988), and joined the OSU faculty in 1992 where he now heads the instrumentation group. He is the project lead for the SDSS-V robotic Focal Plane Systems.
Biography: Cynthia Froning is a research scientist at UT Austin. She has expertise in space and ground-based UVOIR instrument development, including spectrographs, IFU systems, and imagers. She served as the project scientist for the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on HST and currently is the program manager for the Local Volume Mapper Instrument for SDSS-V.
