Integral field spectroscopy with the Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph
Jeremy R. Allington-Smith,Cornelis M. Dubbeldam,Colin J. Dunlop,David J. Robertson,Jay Elias,Bernadette Rodgers,James E. H. Turner +6 more
TL;DR: The Astronomical Instrumentation Group (A IG) of the University of Durham has recently completed an integral field unit (IFU) for use on the Gemini-South telescope with the Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph (GNIRS) built by the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) USA as discussed by the authors.

Gemini Observatory: five years of multi-instrument queue operations
TL;DR: Gemini Observatory has operated Gemini North and South in multi-instrument queue mode since 2005 as mentioned in this paper, where each telescope has about 85% of the time scheduled for science, of which 90% are in queue mode.

New techniques for integral field spectroscopy – II. Performance of the GNIRS IFU
Jeremy R. Allington-Smith,Cornelis M. Dubbeldam,David J. Robertson,James E. H. Turner,Bernadette Rodgers,J. H. Elias,J. Gerssen,Mark Swinbank +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) capability of the Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph installed on the Gemini-North telescope is evaluated.

Managing target of opportunity (ToO) observations in queue mode at Gemini Observatory
Katherine C. Roth,E. Rodrigo Carrasco,Bryan W. Miller,Andrew W. Stephens,Inger Jorgensen,Bernadette Rodgers +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the different flavors of ToO supported at Gemini Observatory and how each kind is scheduled with respect to existing queue observations and present ideas for formalizing these practices into a system of dynamical Prioritization which automatically self adjusts as new ToO observations are triggered, high priority targets become endangered, and timing windows near expiration.

GNOMOS: The Gemini NIR-Optical Multi Object Spectrograph
Ruben Diaz,Paul Hirst,Inger Jorgensen,Kathleen Labrie,S. K. Leggett,M. Lemoine-Busserolle,Nancy A. Levenson,Rachel Mason,Richard M. McDermid,Bryan W. Miller,Percy Gomez,German Gimeno,Thomas R. Geballe,Kristin Chiboucas,Andy Adamson,Ricardo P. Schiavon,Pascale Hibon,Atsuko Nitta,Peter Pessev,Bernadette Rodgers,Mischa Schirmer,Chad Trujillo,James Turner +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the science case for an alternative new instrument, consisting instead of a multi-object, medium-resolution, high-throughput spectrograph, covering simultaneously the optical and near-infrared slices of the electromagnetic spectrum.
