Magellan Instrumentation Calibration : Plan and issues

  • 1. Carnegie Observatories, La Serena, Chile
  • 2. Las Campanas Obs.

Description

"The twin 6.5m Magellan telescopes have been operational since 2002. There are 5 instruments permanently mounted and 6 more having dedicated observing campaigns. This characteristic complicates the establishment of regular calibration plans since not all instruments are always available. We will report on our approach to face this reality, presenting the current calibration plan and related issues."
