GRACES Science Data Available

Target field of view for GRACES observations of the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 6946.

Initial science observations have been obtained with Gemini Remote Access to CFHT ESPaDOnS Spectrograph (GRACES). This collaboration among Gemini, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, and NRC-Herzberg delivers high-resolution spectroscopy across the optical region. All the initial observations, including reduced data, are publicly available at the Gemini website:
http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/july-2015-onsky-tests in order to help users familiarize themselves with the data and instrument performance. A special thanks goes out to members of Gemini’s Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) who helped select targets. Regular 2015B programs using GRACES are now being observed.
