| Abstract | Vibration measurements at the Gemini South observatory were conducted in February 2020, in order to experimentally determine acceleration transfer functions between the instrument support structure and key locations on the telescope, including the optics. An electrodynamic exciter was used to impart known dynamic forces into the telescope structure. Acceleration responses were measured at numerous locations on the telescope, including on M1 and M2, using the facility Vibration Monitoring System (VMS) accelerometers. This paper describes the equipment, the experimental approach, and will summarize initial results from these tests. |
