[ASA] SAMI instrument now available on the AAT

[jbryant]

Dear astronomy community,

The AAO is pleased to announce that SAMI will be available for general use at the AAT from semester 2016A.

SAMI is the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field unit (IFU) for the AAOmega spectrograph. SAMI provides 13 IFUs, each with a field of view of 15 arcseconds sampled with 61 1.6-arcsecond fibres. These IFUs can be deployed over a 1-degree field of view. Fibres feed light from SAMI to the AAOmega spectrograph.

For details of the current call for proposals for the AAT, see

Regards,
Julia
