A combinatorial genetic algorithm for the configuration of the 2dF/AAOmega spectrograph at the anglo-Australian observatory
To help unravel the structure of the universe, astronomers have developed systems which observe large clusters of objects at the same time. One such system is the 2-degree field s...
