SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer (2009)
Cimatti, A., Robberto, M., Baugh, C., Beckwith, S. V. W., Content, R., Daddi, E., ...
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Vision 2015–2025...
SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer (2008)
Cimatti, A., Robberto, M., Baugh, C. M., Beckwith, S. V. W., Content, R., Daddi, E., ...
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Vision 2015-2025...
Allington-Smith, J. R., Content, R., Dubbeldam, C. M., Robertson, D. J., Preuss, W.
We describe the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) capability of the Gemini Near-infrared Spectrograph (GNIRS) installed on the Gemini-South telescope. This makes use of the Advanced Image Slicer...
Design and construction of the IMACS-IFU, a 2000-element integral field unit (2004)
Schmoll, J., Dodsworth, G. N., Content, R., Allington-Smith, J. R.
The IMACS-IFU is an Integral Field Unit built for the IMACS spectrograph at the Magellan-I-Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. It consists of two rectangular fields of 5 by 7 arcseconds, separated...
Mechanical and Thermal Tests of the Containers of Liquid Mirrors (2004)
Borra, E. F., Content, R., Tremblay, G., Daigle, A., Huot, Y.
We give a generic description of a liquid mirror system and summarize some practical information useful to making them. We compare laboratory measurements of deformations, due to the weight of...
Allington-Smith, J., Murray, G., Content, R., Dodsworth, G., Davies, R., Miller, B. W., ...
The Gemini Multiobject Spectrograph (GMOS) installed on the Gemini-North telescope has a facility for integral field spectroscopy over the wavelength range 0.4-1.0 mum. GMOS is converted to this mode...
The origin of [FeII] emission in NGC 4151. (2002)
Turner, J. E. H., Allington-Smith, J., Chapman, S., Content, R., Done, C., Haynes, R., ...
The centre of NGC 4151 has been observed in the J band with the SMIRFS integral field unit (IFU) on the UK Infrared Telescope. A map of [Fe ii] emission is derived, and compared with the...
Ubc/Laval 2.7-Meter Liquid Mirror Telescope (1994)
Hickson, P., Borra, E. F., Cabanac, R., Content, R., Gibson, B. K., Walker, G. A. H.
We report the successful development and operation of a large astronomical liquid-mirror telescope. Employing a rotating 2.7-meter diameter mirror with a surface of liquid mercury, the telescope...
