MOSFIRE
I began working on MOSFIRE in early June 2009. In the lab I have assisted in testing the filter wheel, pupil mechanism, and the focus mechanism. I have played an integral part in the design, assembly and testing of the guider head and detector head. In July 2010 we successfully acquired first light in the lab and as of November 2010 we are in final testing and preparation for shipping. Outside of the lab I am working to update the BDSS archive and develop a galactic science plan for MOSFIRE firstlight. I am also working with the MOSFIRE science team to develope daa reduciton procedure for MOSFIRE data.
NTTS 155808-2219
My work on NTTS 155808-2219 is fairly complete. I presented our results at the 2009 winter AAS meeting and the reference can be found on my publications page. Currently I am trying to resolve descrepancies between the visible and IR data prior to publication.
