WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy
Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +53
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a dedicated 12-m spectroscopic survey facility designed to address some of the most important questions in astrophysic…
JWST resolves jet-driven H2 and ionized outflows in radio galaxy 3C305
B. Sebastian, P. M. Ogle, P. Guillard +17
We present JWST MIRI MRS, NIRSpec, NIRCam, and MIRI imaging observations of 3C 305, a radio galaxy with a compact jet that is confined within the galaxy. We use the H2 0-0 S(1)-S(7…
Guiding Design Choices for Wide-Field IFS: Trade-Offs Between Replication and Complexity for WST
C. Cudennec, A. Jeanneau, R. Bacon +7
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12-meter segmented facility optimized for seeing- and Ground Layer Adaptive Optics-limited observations in the visible an…
IFS spectrograph designs for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: Architecture and performance gains from curved sensors
Corentin Cudennec, Alexandre Jeanneau, Roland Bacon +2
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12-meter segmented facility optimized for seeing limited observations in the visible and designed to operate both a high-…
