The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: characterization of two VPHG prototypes based on dichromated gelatin and photopolymer recording materials
Alexandre Jeanneau, Andrea Bianco, Andrew Clawson +8
Volume-phase holographic gratings (VPHGs) are widely used in astronomical spectrographs due to their adaptability and high diffraction efficiency. Most VPHGs in operation use dichr…
WST -- Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: Motivation, science drivers and top-level requirements for a new dedicated facility
Roland Bacon, Vincenzo Maineiri, Sofia Randich +37
In this paper, we describe the wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) project. WST is a 12-metre wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope with simultaneous operation of a…
WST -- Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: design of a new 12m class telescope dedicated to widefield Multi-object and Integral Field Spectroscopy
P. Dierickx, T. Travouillon, G. Gausachs +12
The Wide-Field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a 12-m class seeing-limited telescope providing two concentric fields of view for simultaneous Multi-Object Spectrosco…
The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: science drivers and overview of instrument design
Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud, Florence Laurent +47
BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). With an optimised transmission…
WST -- Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: addressing the instrumentation challenges of a new 12m class telescope dedicated to widefield Multi-object and Integral Field Spectroscopy
David Lee, Joel D. R. Vernet, Roland Bacon +23
WST - Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: We summarise the design challenges of instrumentation for a proposed 12m class Telescope that aims to provide a large (>2.5 square degree)…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
