HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
MAVIS: Enabling High-Precision Ground-Based Astrometry in the Visible Spectrum
Mojtaba Taheri, Jesse Cranney, Antonino Marasco +9
MAVIS (the MCAO-Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph), planned for the VLT Adaptive Optics Facility, represents an innovative step in Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) sys…
Pyxis: A ground-based demonstrator for formation-flying optical interferometry
Jonah T. Hansen, Samuel Wade, Michael J. Ireland +6
In the past few years, there has been a resurgence in studies towards space-based optical/infrared interferometry, particularly with the vision to use the technique to discover and…
