Design evolution for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
Will Saunders, Corentin Cudennec, Roland Bacon +4
WST is proposed as the next large ESO project to follow ELT, combining Multi-Object Spectroscopy and Integral Field Spectroscopy. Each mode offers order-of-magnitude gains over cur…
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: dispersing elements
Andrea Bianco, Michele Frangiamore, Anna Brucalassi +7
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12-m class facility entirely dedicated to spectroscopic surveys, combining a high-multiplex multi-object spectrograph ope…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST): design trade-offs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrograph instrument
Dimitri Buffat, Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen +10
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter-class dedicated spectroscopic facility designed to address key scientific challenges through large spectroscopic…
Progress of the design of the 12-m optical, Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST)
P. Dierickx, G. Gausachs, C. Cudennec +16
The Wide-Field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a 12-m class, Alt-Az optical telescope providing two simultaneous foci, 2 degrees and 3 by 3 arc minutes respectively, for Multi-Obj…
WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy
Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +53
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a dedicated 12-m spectroscopic survey facility designed to address some of the most important questions in astrophysic…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: optical designs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrographs
Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen, Dimitri Buffat +7
In MOS Low-Resolution mode, WST has a 'spectral etendue' per fiber (etendue x spectral resolution elements) twice as large as any existing MOS instrument, and a total spectral eten…
