WEAVE-StePS. A stellar population survey using WEAVE at WHT
A. Iovino, B. M. Poggianti, A. Mercurio +44
The upcoming new generation of optical spectrographs on four-meter-class telescopes will provide valuable opportunities for forthcoming galaxy surveys through their huge multiplexi…
4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
M32: Is There An Ancient, Metal-Poor Population?
G. Fiorentino, A. Monachesi, S. Trager +7
We observed two fields near M32 with the ACS/HRC on board the Hubble Space Telescope, located at distances of about 1.8' and 5.4' (hereafter F1 and F2, respectively) from the cente…
The Gaia spectrophotometric standard stars survey. I. Preliminary results
E. Pancino, G. Altavilla, S. Marinoni +23
We describe two ground based observing campaigns aimed at building a grid of approximately 200 spectrophotometric standard stars (SPSS), with an internal ~1% precision and tied to…
CALIFA: a diameter-selected sample for an integral field spectroscopy galaxy survey
C. J. Walcher, L. Wisotzki, S. Bekeraité +48
We describe and discuss the selection procedure and statistical properties of the galaxy sample used by the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey (CALIFA), a public legacy s…
Science Case and Requirements for the MOSAIC Concept for a Multi-Object Spectrograph for the European Extremely Large Telescope
C. J. Evans, M. Puech, B. Barbuy +55
Over the past 18 months we have revisited the science requirements for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). These efforts span the…
