Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
The Solar Orbiter SPICE instrument -- An extreme UV imaging spectrometer
The SPICE Consortium, :, M. Anderson +88
The Spectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment (SPICE) instrument is a high-resolution imaging spectrometer operating at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths. In this paper, we p…
Project overview and update on WEAVE: the next generation wide-field spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope
Gavin Dalton, Scott Trager, Don Carlos Abrams +50
We present an overview of and status report on the WEAVE next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT). WEAVE principally targets optical ground-ba…
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…
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 (…
Fibre Positioning Revisited: The use an off-the-shelf assembly robot for OPTIMOS-EVE
Gavin Dalton, Martin Whalley, Oudayraj Mounissamy +4
The OPTIMOS-EVE instrument proposed for the E-ELT aims to use the maximum field of view available to the E-ELT in the limit of natural or ground-layer-corrected seeing for high mul…
Design drivers for a wide-field multi-object spectrograph for the William Herschel Telescope
Marc Balcells, Chris R. Benn, David Carter +21
Wide-field multi-object spectroscopy is a high priority for European astronomy over the next decade. Most 8-10m telescopes have a small field of view, making 4-m class telescopes a…
The Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) for Subaru Telescope
Masahiko Kimura, Toshinori Maihara, Fumihide Iwamuro +39
Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) is the first near-infrared instrument with a wide field of view capable of acquiring spectra simultaneously from up to 400 objects. It has be…
