Abstract

The Gemini High-Resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) instrument is the next generation high resolution spectrograph for the Gemini telescope. The GHOST instrument was developed for the Gemini telescope as a collaboration between Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO) at Macquarie University, the Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics (HAA) in Canada and the Australian National University (ANU). The instrument is a fiber fed spectrograph with R>50,000 in two-object mode and R> 75,000 in single object mode. The bench spectrograph was integrated at Gemini South from April to June 2022. This paper presents the final integration and alignment of the spectrograph at Gemini South and the measured spectrograph performance at the telescope.
