The ELT-MOS (MOSAIC): towards the construction phase
Simon Morris, François Hammer, Pascal Jagourel +50
When combined with the huge collecting area of the ELT, MOSAIC will be the most effective and flexible Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS) facility in the world, having both a high mul…
On-sky tests of sky-subtraction methods for fiber-fed spectrographs
Myriam Rodrigues, Michele Cirasuolo, Francois Hammer +8
We present preliminary results on on-sky test of sky subtraction methods for fiber-fed spectrograph. Using dedicated observation with FLAMES/VLT in I-band, we have tested the accur…
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…
Updated optical design and trade-off study for MOONS, the Multi-Object Optical and Near Infrared spectrometer for the VLT
E. Oliva, S. Todd, M. Cirasuolo +13
This paper presents the latest optical design for the MOONS triple-arm spectrographs. MOONS will be a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph and will be installed on o…
MOONS: a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the VLT
M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso, R. Bender +77
MOONS is a new conceptual design for a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), selected by ESO for a Phase A study. The baseline des…
Multi-Object Spectroscopy with the European ELT: Scientific synergies between EAGLE & EVE
C. J. Evans, B. Barbuy, P. Bonifacio +29
The EAGLE and EVE Phase A studies for instruments for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) originated from related top-level scientific questions, but employed different…
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…
GYES, a multifibre spectrograph for the CFHT
P. Bonifacio, S. Mignot, J. -L. Dournaux +38
We have chosen the name of GYES, one of the mythological giants with one hundred arms, offspring of Gaia and Uranus, for our instrument study of a multifibre spectrograph for the p…
Development of five multifibre links for the OPTIMOS-EVE study for the E-ELT
Isabelle Guinouard, Fanny Chemla, Hector Flores +3
The OPTIMOS-EVE concept provides optical to near-infrared (370-1700 nm) spectroscopy, with three spectral resolution (5000, 15000 and 30000), with high simultaneous multiplex (at l…
The FALCON concept: multi-object spectroscopy combined with MCAO in near-IR
F. Hammer, F. Sayède, E. Gendron +16
A large fraction of the present-day stellar mass was formed between z=0.5 and z~3 and our understanding of the formation mechanisms at work at these epochs requires both high spati…
