Conceptual architecture of the detector infrastructure for WST
A. Meoli, O. Iwert, E. George +5
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12 m wide-field spectroscopic facility combining several multi-object spectrographs. It requires a yet unprecedented numb…
WST, the wide-field spectroscopic telescope: progress on the design of the instruments
David Lee, Joel Vernet, Elizabeth George +46
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope is a proposed new facility that will provide a transformational gain in spectroscopic survey capability over existing facilities. The WS…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST): design trade-offs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrograph instrument
Dimitri Buffat, Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen +10
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter-class dedicated spectroscopic facility designed to address key scientific challenges through large spectroscopic…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: optical designs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrographs
Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen, Dimitri Buffat +7
In MOS Low-Resolution mode, WST has a 'spectral etendue' per fiber (etendue x spectral resolution elements) twice as large as any existing MOS instrument, and a total spectral eten…
An Analysis of Large Astronomical Detector Controller Systems and Implications for Future ESO Detector Systems
Mathias Richerzhagen, Naidu Bezawada, Sebastian Elias Egner +11
Large astronomical instruments using tens to hundreds of optical or infrared science detectors pose specific challenges for detector control, where, in addition to performance, oth…
Detector Systems Engineering for Extremely Large Instruments
Elizabeth M. George, Naidu Bezawada, Derek Ives +22
The scientific detector systems for the ESO ELT first-light instruments, HARMONI, MICADO, and METIS, together will require 27 science detectors: seventeen 2.5 m cutoff H4RG-15 d…
ESPRESSO@VLT -- On-sky performance and first results
F. Pepe, S. Cristiani, R. Rebolo +97
ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very-Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity precision and extreme spectral fidelity with th…
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…
4MOST - 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Eric Depagne, the 4MOST consortium
4MOST (4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a spectroscopic facility that will be installed on ESO's VISTA around 2020. The science rationale of this facility are to be foun…
ESPRESSO: The next European exoplanet hunter
F. Pepe, P. Molaro, S. Cristiani +55
The acronym ESPRESSO stems for Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations; this instrument will be the next VLT high resolution spectrograph. T…
4MOST - 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Roelof S. de Jong, Olga Bellido-Tirado, Cristina Chiappini +82
The 4MOST consortium is currently halfway through a Conceptual Design study for ESO with the aim to develop a wide-field (>3 square degree, goal >5 square degree), high-multiplex (…
