NIFS System Verification Modes 

Here we describe the key modes of NIFS to be tested as part of System Verification (SV). The pool from which verification observations will be drawn is described in the SV plan. This plan contains details of individual observations and describes other aspects of the system which will be tested.

System Verification with NIFS is being coordinated by Tracy Beck, to whom any questions should be addressed.

In total, NIFS has four main modes defined for the SV:

  1. Adaptive Optics NIFS+Altair IFU Spectroscopy in the Z, J, H and K-bands
  2. Non-AO NIFS IFU spectroscopy in the Z, J, H and K-bands
  3. Adaptive Optics NIFS+Altair Coronagraphy in the Z, J, H and K-bands
  4. NOT OFFERED IN THE CURRENT CALL: Adaptive Optics NIFS+Altair+Laser Guide Star (LGS) Spectroscopy in the Z, J, H and K-bands
