MOMOS: The Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer Simulator and Data Reduction Package
The Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer (MOMOS) is a proposed visible wavelength spectrograph that uses microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) targeting an initial resolving power of 3500 for up to five fiber inputs. With their modest wavelength-resolving abilities, MKIDs take the place o...

| description | The Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer (MOMOS) is a proposed visible wavelength spectrograph that uses microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) targeting an initial resolving power of 3500 for up to five fiber inputs. With their modest wavelength-resolving abilities, MKIDs take the place of both the cross disperser and detector in the spectrograph. MKIDs lack read noise and dark current enabling noiseless post-observation rebinning and characterization of faint objects, as well as time-resolved photon-counting spectroscopy. This work presents a MOMOS simulator customizable for different MOMOS configurations. Treating simulator products as inputs, an algorithm was developed and implemented in the MOMOS data reduction package to calibrate and extract spectra. |
