Abstract

G-CLEF is a high-resolution, stabilized, fiber-fed spectrograph designed for the GiantMagellan Telescope (GMT). Before its deployment on the GMT, the instrument will be coupled to the Magellan Clay telescope for several years – the G@M phase. While the spectrograph does not require any modifications, a newly developed interface is required to couple G-CLEF to the telescope. G@M will provide four seeing-limited observing modes and one AO observing mode with the Magellan MagAO-X platform. The design of the seeing-limited front-end unit ensures efficient injection of target, sky/background, and calibration light into the optical fibers. This unit is complemented by additional submodules within the fiber run, incorporating slicing and scrambling capabilities to support extreme precision radial velocity measurement and extreme resolution modes.
