Automated scheduler for the SOXS instrument: design and performance
Laura Asquini, Marco Landoni, Dave Young +49
We present the advancements in the development of the scheduler for the Son Of X-shooter instrument at the ESO-NTT 3.58-m telescope in La Silla, Chile. SOXS is designed as a single…
End-to-End simulation framework for astronomical spectrographs: SOXS, CUBES and ANDES
A. Scaudo, M. Genoni, G. Li Causi +73
We present our numerical simulation approach for the End-to-End (E2E) model applied to various astronomical spectrographs, such as SOXS (ESO-NTT), CUBES (ESO-VLT), and ANDES (ESO-E…
The status of the NIR arm of the SOXS Instrument toward the PAE
Fabrizio Vitali, Matteo Genoni, Matteo Aliverti +57
The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a single object spectrograph, built by an international consortium for the 3.58-m ESO New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory [1]. It of…
The mechanical design of SOXS for the NTT
M Aliverti, O Hershko, O Diner +45
SOXS (Son of X-shooter) is a wide band, medium resolution spectrograph for the ESO NTT with a first light expected in 2021. The instrument will be composed by five semi-independent…
The VIS detector system of SOXS
Rosario Cosentino, Matteo Aliverti, Salvatore Scuderi +46
SOXS will be a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO NTT telescope able to cover the optical and NIR bands thanks to two different arms: the UV-VIS (350-850 nm), and the NIR (8…
