| Abstract | The instrumentation group of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics was commissioned by the Gemini Observatory to develop a new focal plane assembly for the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph with an array of three deep-depletion Hamamatsu CCDs. The main objective of the upgrade is to improve the sensitivity of the instrument in the red and nearinfrared wavelengths, with the additional benefits of reduced fringing, faster readout, and better performance in the "nod and shuffle" mode. We describe what we learned about these relatively new CCDs, including several problems encountered during testing, and report on the performance of the system. © 2012 SPIE. |
