We would like to draw your attention about the existence of the Science Data Products internet forum which can be found at: http://www.eso.org/sci/data-processing/forum.htmlVIMOS News
On this page, we list the main changes that affected the instrument and this web site.
- September 4, 2009: VIMOS Improvement Project: preliminary QE curves of the new detectors can be found at http://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/paranal/instruments/vimos/inst/CCD_upgrade.html
- September 4, 2009: Filter transmission curves and bandpassesi for z-band have been added: filters.
- March 26, 2009: VIMOS Improvement Project: We are currently defining an improvement project for VIMOS aimed principally to increase its red sensitivity by changing the detectors to e2v CCD 44-82-1-D42, deep depletion, backside illuminated, double layer coating chips. We are also working on improving operation reliability. These changes will in principle be implemented during Q2 2010. Note that the blue sensitivity might decrease.
