Scientific paper

An automated fiber optic coupler (AUTOFIB) for multiobject spectroscopy has been designed and is currently being built for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) as a collaborative project between Durham University and the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO). The device consists of a high-speed, precision, fiber positioner and an interchangeable fiber module. The positioner places the fiber probes individually under microprocessor control and can set up a field of 64 fibers in less than 10 minutes.
