The Robotic Multiobject Focal Plane System of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler

A system of 5020 robotic fiber positioners was installed in 2019 on the Mayall Telescope, at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The robots automatically retarget their optical fibers every 10-20 minutes, each to a precision of several microns, with a reconfig ...
