Prime Focus Spectrograph on the Subaru Telescope to Begin Science Operations in February (IMAGE)
Caption
Example of data obtained by PFS observing celestial objects in the Andromeda Galaxy region. On the left, the positions of the PFS fibers configured to observe individual celestial objects are marked by circles on an image of the Andromeda Galaxy taken with HSC (Hyper Suprime-Cam) (Credit: NAOJ). The cyan rectangle represents the field of view of the multi-object spectrograph DEIMOS in operation at W. M. Keck Observatory for comparison. On the right, a magnified image of the observed celestial object is shown, along with the spectra obtained by PFS. (Credit: PFS Project/Kavli IPMU/NAOJ)
