CIRPASS: Description, performance and astronomical results by Parry, I, Bunker, A, Dean, A, Doherty, M, Horton, A, King, D, Lemoine-Busserole, M, Mackay, C, McMahon, R, Medlen, S, Sharp, R, Smith, J

“…This near-infrared (MR) spectrograph has been used on the 8m Gemini-South Telescope, the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) and the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT). …”

Measuring the star formation rate of the universe at z ∼ 1 from Hα with multi-object near-infrared spectroscopy by Bunker, A, Doherty, M, Sharp, R, Parry, I, Dalton, G, Lewis, I

“…We have demonstrated the first near-infrared multi-object spectrograph, CIRPASS, on the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope. We have conducted an H survey of 38 0.77 < z < 1 galaxies over ∼100 arcmin2 of the Hubble Deep Field North and Flanking Fields, to determine star formation rates (SFRs) using CIRPASS on the WHT. …”

Multi-object near-infrared H alpha spectroscopy of z similar to 1 star-forming galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North by Doherty, M, Bunker, A, Sharp, R, Dalton, G, Parry, I, Lewis, I, MacDonald, E, Wolf, C, Hippelein, H

“…CIRPASS has been successfully demonstrated in multi-object mode on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) and the William Herschel Telescope (WHT). …”
