For Discussion:

Even if you're not presenting a science case for FOBOS, we'd like to encourage everyone to think about the capabilities of FOBOS as it relates to your science. Specifically, we're thinking of:

  • Target density (number per arcmin^2)
  • Target size (diameter in arcsec)
  • Do you want resolved (integral-field) spectroscopy?
  • Spectral range
  • Spectral resolution

as well as any others that you'd like to add. We've asked the science presenters to think about these details for their talks, as well. We'll collect these during the morning session and use them as points for discussion of the instrument capabilities during the afternoon. As a reminder, the baseline design yields the following:

  • Max target density: ~2.5 per arcmin^2 (~400 objects over a 160 arcmin^2 patrol field)
  • Target size: point source (0.6 arcsec FWHM at Keck)
  • Resolved spectroscopy?: No, will use integral collectors with ~1.7 arcsec aperture
  • Spectral range: 0.35-1 micron
  • Spectral resolution: 2500 (blue) to 4500 (red)

Logistics:

  • The venue is the UCLA Faculty Center (480 Charles E. Young Dr. East, Los Angeles, CA, 90095) located south of Murphy Hall and across the street from the Schoenberg Music Building.
  • Visitor parking is available in Lot 2, which is at Westholme and Hilgard.
  • Lunch will be provided.
  • Remote attendees should connect via the Zoom link below. We'll initiate the connection at 9am or soon thereafter.
