Conceptual architecture of the detector infrastructure for WST
A. Meoli, O. Iwert, E. George +5
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12 m wide-field spectroscopic facility combining several multi-object spectrographs. It requires a yet unprecedented numb…
WST, the wide-field spectroscopic telescope: progress on the design of the instruments
David Lee, Joel Vernet, Elizabeth George +46
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope is a proposed new facility that will provide a transformational gain in spectroscopic survey capability over existing facilities. The WS…
WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy
Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +52
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…
Sustainability as a design parameter in the early development of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
L. Fréour, E. Burtin, R. Bacon +13
The proposed Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope, a next-generation telescope facility with a 12-meter primary mirror that may be operational in the 2040s, is integrating sustainabl…
MOSAIC at ELT: Design and First Prototyping of Novel Robotic Optical-Relay Positioners
Maxime Rombach, Markus Thurneysen, Lucas Ortolani +9
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is, to date, the most ambitious ground-based telescope under construction. MOSAIC is a multi-objects spectrograph (MOS) that aims to make full u…
An Analysis of Large Astronomical Detector Controller Systems and Implications for Future ESO Detector Systems
Mathias Richerzhagen, Naidu Bezawada, Sebastian Elias Egner +11
Large astronomical instruments using tens to hundreds of optical or infrared science detectors pose specific challenges for detector control, where, in addition to performance, oth…
