Abstract

We describe the development status of the first-generation science instruments for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). The first-generation suite includes two infrared and two visible light spectrographs that together will deliver from wide-band imaging to R~200,000 spectroscopy at wavelengths from 0.3 to 5 µm. All four instruments are designed for use with diffraction limited or ground-layer adaptive optics modes. G-CLEF, a visible light echelle designed for broad scientific use and for precision radial velocity measurements, is in fabrication. The other three (GMACS, a wide field multi-object spectrograph; GMTNIRS, a near- to thermal-infrared echelle spectrograph utilizing silicon immersion gratings; and GMTIFS, a near-infrared imager and integral field spectrograph) are in Preliminary Design. The first-generation suite also includes a robotic fiber-feed system called MANIFEST, which enables spectroscopy over the 20 arcmin field of view of the telescope with custom fibers for G-CLEF, GMACS, and GMTNIRS. An additional facility instrument, GMagAO-X, is being developed to provide high-contrast imaging at visible and near-infrared wavelengths and is in Preliminary Design. We also discuss the visible and infrared cameras (called ComCam and AOTC, respectively) that will be used for alignment, verification, and commissioning of the active and adaptive optics modes of the telescope and enable early science activities.
