Summary[edit]

Description
English: During commissioning in early 2003 of the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini South Telescope, images and spectra were obtained of the group of galaxies known as the Hickson Compact Group 87 (HCG 87). The Gemini image compares very favorably with space-based image of this same field and illustrates the remarkable resolution that is possible with Gemini when atmospheric conditions are optimal. See Image Release for details Technical Details: Acquisition Date(s): May 25, 2003 Telescope: Gemini South, Cerro Pachón, Chile Instrument: GMOS (Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph) Field of View: ~ 4x4 arcminutes (0.073 arcsec/pixel) [url=https://www.gemini.edu/sciops/in
