(Masataka Imai-san)
minimum exposure time for bright objects? => 1.5 sec
Is observation of bright object possible ? => depends on science case you need, please contact individually.
(Kenneth Wong-san)
When the IFU becomes available?
=> Earliest S22B, with optimistic expect.
(Kimihiko Nakajima-san)
Do you plan to have a software for MOS mask design to avoid detector gaps, etc?
=> No software at the moment, but prepare information to design.
(Hanae Inami-san)
When SWIMS goes to TAO? => from S23A
When IFU becomes available ? => probably only S22B, if the development goes well.
What is FoV of the IFU => 14.0"x5.2" on Subaru
(Okita-san)
[Comment] IFU should go through review and get approved to be served at open-use.
(Iye-san)
How we can choose SWIMS or MOIRCS? What is the merit of SWIMS?
=> MOIRCS will be hibernated during SWIMS operation.

(Inami-san)
Is any delay for the deadline of CfP due to COVID-19?
=> No.no delay
If SWIMS fails, is MOIRCS also provided under risk-share => no, MOIRCS will be provided stably.

Halpha in clusters at z~0.9 : any plan for diffuse Halpha emission by
going deeper?
=> May be possible, but probably for TAO science, as
it requires large amount of time.However, proposed z~0.9 is
in the northern hemisphere and cannot be observed from TAO.
(Ichikawa-san)
About redshift evolution of red sequence galaxies :
if the redshift evolution of red galaxy is flat, red fraction
gets larger at higher-z as number of SF galaxy decreases at high-z?
(Inami-san)
What is the advantage against ZFOURGE?
=>FoV of ZFOURGE is ~300arcmin^2 in Ks

There is a discrepancy between CLOUDY simulation and observations; any comments?
=>Need to check.
(Matsuoka-san)
Already a lot of archive spectra of high-z QSOs, and using them, you can start now?
=> Probably yes.

—Questions?
Your proposal requires 6 masks in 2 nights, but we can use up to 4 masks per one observing run. Is it OK for your project? (Motohara-san)
—> I may change the strategy according to the instrumental limitation.
#14:20 "Spectroscopy of dual quasars from HSC ", John Silverman (U Tokyo)
—Questions?
What is the wavelengths you need? (Motohara-san)
—> We can choose QSOs at the redshifts matched with the SWIMS wavelength coverage.
What is the required spatial resolution? (Motohara-san)
—> Typical separation of the dual cores is 0.6–0.4 arcsec.
Natural seeing conditions would be fine. Wider separation QSOs (~0.6 arcsec) are suitable for IFU obs. with TAO.
J1614 seems to have the extended H-alpha emission connecting the core and host (bridge-like structure). Is this real? (Saito-san)
—> I need to check the data more carefully to conclude whether this structure is real or not.
#15:00 “Characterization of Exoplanets by the Synergy of SWIMS and MuSCAT3", Mayuko Mori (U Tokyo)
—Questions?
What is a typical magnitude of your targets? (Motohara-san)
—> 11-18 mag for TESS targets. We may need to defocus for the brighter targets.
What is the required slit width? (Motohara-san)
—> 10-12 arcsec in our previous MOIRCS observation.

—Questions?
0.2 arcsec is too high for SWIMS. (Tadaki-san)
Good science case for GLAO!
What is the redshift range? Do you have the targets matched with NB filters on SWIMS? (Motohara-san)
—> Should be fine.
Velocity resolution is different between NIR spectroscopy and ALMA. Isn’t it a problem for your science? (Izumi-san)
—> I will focus on the spatial distribution of ionized gas, i.e., NB imaging observation.
H-alpha emission from MUSE is useless? (Tanaka-san)
—> MUSE+AO is limited to bright targets. Pa-alpha observation is required for our ULIRG project.
#16:00 "SWIMS views of low-luminosity quasars at z>6", Masafusa Onoue (MPIA)
—Questions?
Spectral resolution of SWIMS is enough (R~1000)? High spectral resolution would be important. (Tanaka-san)
—> For science about the absolution lines, higher spectral resolution (X-shooter or MOSFIRE; R~3000-5000) is required.
Do you have any plan to install higher spectral resolution grism? (Tanaka-san, to SWIMS team)
—> We need budget… (we have tried) (Motohara-san)
Why do you need to increase your sample size by a factor of two? (Tadaki-san)
—> We see the variety of the physical properties in our current high-z QSO sample. We want to investigate the fraction of high-z QSOs with particular physical properties with a larger sample of high-z QSOs.
#16:30 Q&A and discussion
(Iye-san’s questions)
- Is the thickness of NB filters is correct?
—> Yes, we have checked the thickness, surface figure, and surface roughness. There is no problem.
- What is the small shaded region in the left-hand-side detector?
—> Unstable baseline level of detector
This region is masked in the pipeline.
- Can exposure time of blue and red be controlled independently?
—> Yes.
e.g., a single longer exposure in blue-arm and multiple shorter exposures in red-arm
(Tanaka-san)
Wavelength gap of the two detectors. How can we avoid this in spectroscopic observations?
—> Shift x-axis direction when observing. But it takes x2 observing time.(?)
When you observe a single object, the crowded OH sky line regions can be shifted to the gap.
(Motohara-san comments)
Construction of TAO is now suspended due to the COVID-19 situation. ~ 6 months?
SWIMS-MOIRCS comparison
(Wu-san)
Throughput comparison in spectroscopic obs? Especially J-band?
—> Sensitivity is comparable.
Maybe similar between SWIMS and MOIRCS but please check the website.
Discussion
- IFU timeline?
Huge uncertainty but from 2023 hopefully…
- High resolution grism? LS GRISM (R=3000)
We should consider grant application for new grism
—> We cannot install new grism during SWIMS is mounted on Subaru. (Motohara-san)
(Ebizuka-san)
VPH grism is better than LS grism for Swims. But VPH grism has absorption in K band.
- How to form/join science teams (PI instrument policy)?
Please contact Motohara-san when you applying to SWIMS.
- Next science workshop?
in 2021?
- Buy more detectors?
AUS-LIEF proposal. If it is successful, we can double the FoV.
—> We will also apply for KAKENHI or other grants.
- Open-use policy of SWIMS on TAO?
—> Please think about using TAO beyond Subaru.
33% open-use time for Japanese community.
+ Another 42% TAO project time, large legacy survey.
(Tanaka-san)
Science operation of SWIMS and PFS is overlapped. Wavelength coverage is complementary. Is it possible to manage synergetic observation with PFS and SWIMS?
—> FoV is totally different. Arrangement of observations is difficult…?
—> Follow-up with SWIMS of interesting sources found by PFS is interesting.
Current schedule of PFS first light?
—> science operation from 2023 (Moritani-san)
—> matched with SWIMS operation on TAO. Good synergy.
—> Who should I contact?
—> Tamura-san
