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 instrument Exposure Time Calculator: full simulation of multi-mode spectrograph performance from source to detector
Matteo Ferro, Matteo Genoni, Henri M. J. Boffin +13
We present a comprehensive Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) developed for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) concept. The WST, currently in its conceptual phase, is designe…
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…
Sustainability as a design parameter in the early development of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
L. Fréour, E. Burtin, R. Bacon +13
The paper describes how sustainability is being incorporated into the early design of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope by using life‑cycle assessments to evaluate the carbon…
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…
