(gratings)• effective wavelength range 0.6 – 5 microns• FOV ~ 3.6’ x 3.4’

Preliminary optimization study
• IDL code to simulate planning tool analysis of target placement within MSA shutters
• heuristic iterative scheme to optimize the number of targets per MSA configuration from an input “candidate” target sample– grid of MSA center pointings and position angles– optimized solution = grid point with largest number of
targets– loop for multiple configurations
• test cases to evaluate various parameters:– input sample size/spatial distribution– number of “sky” shutters– including known failed shutters– dithers– target priorities

Recommendations
• Tool should incorporate iterative scheme for optimizing the number of targets in a configuration using a grid of center pointings and/or position angles.
• Account for “acceptance zone” where flux losses are minimized.• Failed shutters must be tracked and updated. No targets in failed
closed. Generate warnings for targets in rows with failed opens.• Include an option for dithers requiring separate configurations
(e.g., detector gap coverage), for an arbitrary number of dithers.• Target priorities, with an arbitrary number of layers, should be a
key part of the optimization scheme.• Include a diagnostic plot summarizing characteristics of all targets
in a given configuration, such as relative shutter position, priority, dither status, user-defined properties (magnitude, redshift, etc).

To do
• optical distortion across the FOV must be included, with the ability to update the distortion solution as needed
• better treatment of prism spectra (can fit more than one in the same shutter row without overlap)
• target acquisition: visualization and selection of reference stars, avoiding failed closed shutters
• explore more observing scenarios
