First Fermi Sea in SrI

We obtained our first Fermi sea on a strontium gas. We load a crossed dipole trap with ~4·106 atoms at ~3 microK. After 3 sec of forced evaporative cooling we get ~105 atoms at T = 0.2 TF.

Figure: (left) T=3 TF. (right) T = 0.2 TF. The image is taken after a 13 ms time-of-flight.
