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…
Final Alignment and Image Quality Test for the Acquisition and Guiding System of SOXS
J. A. Araiza-Duran, G. Pignata, A. Brucalassi +50
SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) will be the new medium-resolution (R 4500 for 1 slit), high-efficiency, wide-band spectrograph for the ESO NTT at La Silla Observatory, Chile. It will be de…
What is your favorite transient event? SOXS is almost ready to observe!
Kalyan Kumar Radhakrishnan Santhakumari, Federico Battaini, Simone Di Filippo +56
The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) will be the specialized facility to observe any transient event with a flexible scheduler at the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla, Chile.…
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…
Characterisation and assessment of the SOXS Spectrograph UV-VIS Detector System
R. Cosentino, M. Hernandez, H. Ventura +50
The SOXS spectrograph, designed for the ESO NTT telescope, operates in both the optical (UV-VIS: 350-850 nm) and NIR (800-2000 nm) bands. This article provides an overview of the f…
