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…
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…
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 BlackGEM telescope array I: Overview
Paul J. Groot, S. Bloemen, P. Vreeswijk +75
The main science aim of the BlackGEM array is to detect optical counterparts to gravitational wave mergers. Additionally, the array will perform a set of synoptic surveys to detect…
Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE
V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149
The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…
The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?
J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133
Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…
HARPS3 for a Roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope
Samantha J. Thompson, Didier Queloz, Isabelle Baraffe +25
We present a description of a new instrument development, HARPS3, planned to be installed on an upgraded and roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope by end-2018. HARPS3 will be a high r…
An overview of the mid-infrared spectro-interferometer MATISSE: science, concept, and current status
A. Matter, B. Lopez, P. Antonelli +104
MATISSE is the second-generation mid-infrared spectrograph and imager for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at Paranal. This new interferometric instrument will allow…
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…
X-shooter, the new wide band intermediate resolution spectrograph at the ESO Very Large Telescope
Joel Vernet, H. Dekker, S. D'Odorico +87
X-shooter is the first 2nd generation instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope(VLT). It is a very efficient, single-target, intermediate-resolution spectrograph that was installe…
