FLAMINGOS-2 Update

April 16, 2013

FLAMINGOS-2 is currently undergoing what is expected to be the last thermal cycle before mounting onto the Gemini South telescope, which is planned for the end of April. This lab work should correct some charge traps that arose during an uncontrolled cooldown of the detector and correct stalling of the MOS wheel mechanism. Regular updates can be found on the Status and Availability page.
