Ground motion hazard map for Hawaii, based on a 2% probability of exceeding 0.2 second spectral acceleration at 5 Hz in 50 years. Spectral acceleration (SA) is a unit measured in g (the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, equivalent to g-force) that describes the maximum acceleration in an earthquake on an object – specifically a damped, harmonic oscillator moving in one physical dimension.
This requirement has resulted in an instrument which provides spectral resolutions of R~1000-2000 across 0.8-2.4 μm, 2.0-4.1 μm, and 2.3-5.5 μm, using prism cross-dispersers (15 arcsec-long slits). Single order long slit (60 arcsec) modes are also available.
Its spectral capabilities have resulted in many breakthrough discoveries, such as the detection of planets outside our solar system and direct evidence for a model of the Big Bang theory. The radial velocity precision is up to one meter per second (1.0 m/s). [8] The instrument detection limit at 1 AU is 0.2 M J. [9] KCWI

The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS1; obs. code: F51 and Pan-STARRS2 obs. code: F52) located at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, US, consists of astronomical cameras, telescopes and a computing facility that is surveying the sky for moving or variable objects on a continual basis, and also producing accurate astrometry and photometry of already-detected objects.
