Opto-mechanical design of the Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) fly's eye camera
2020
The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new infrared time-domain survey instrument on a dedicated 1 meter robotic telescope at the Palomar Observatory. WINTER will perform the first seeing-limited time domain survey of the infrared (IR) sky, with a particular emphasis on identifying r-process material in binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnants detected by LIGO. We have developed and tested a custom opto-mechanical mounting scheme for a 6-channel tiled optical system with <90% fill factor. Here, we present the mechanical design and testing approach used in the development of WINTER.
