PAU
PAUCam has been designed and built entirely by a Consortium of Spanish Institutions (in alphabetical order: CIEMAT, Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), IFAE, IFT/UAM, and PIC). The project was funded by the Consolider Ingenio 2010 programme of the Spanish Government. The PAUcam construction and integration was done in Barcelona UAB Campus at IFAE labs with the help of CIEMAT and Institute of Space Sciences' engineers and support from their own lab facilities. This was a join effort and the Institute of Space Sciences is leading the project (F.Castander is the PAUcam Project Scientist). Other main technical contributions from IEEC-CSIC were the procurement and characterization of CCD and filters, as well as other parts, built and operate the optical, cryogenic and electronic test bench, design and build camera guiding and alignment system, design and implement camera optical system and characterization. The Institute of Space Sciences is also leading the PAU Survey Collaboration (E.Gaztanaga is the Survey Director) and the data reduction, community pipeline, automated analysis pipelines and the data distribution in collaboration with PIC (Santi Serrano is the PAUdm Project Manager). Institute of Space Sciences is also leading the scientific exploitation of the PAUS data, including simulations, photometric redshift and clustering forecast and analysis.
