4MOST Low Resolution Spectrographs Characterization in Chile
Florence Laurent, Didier Boudon, Eric Daguise +14
4MOST, the 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope, is the optical, fibre-fed, MOS facility for the VISTA telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. Its main science drivers…
ESO-VLT BlueMUSE instrument - Conceptual Design for Phase A
Florence Laurent, Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud +23
BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). The project is now enter…
Guiding Design Choices for Wide-Field IFS: Trade-Offs Between Replication and Complexity for WST
C. Cudennec, A. Jeanneau, R. Bacon +7
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12-meter segmented facility optimized for seeing- and Ground Layer Adaptive Optics-limited observations in the visible an…

The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: characterization of two VPHG prototypes based on dichromated gelatin and photopolymer recording materials
Alexandre Jeanneau, Andrea Bianco, Andrew Clawson +8
Volume-phase holographic gratings (VPHGs) are widely used in astronomical spectrographs due to their adaptability and high diffraction efficiency. Most VPHGs in operation use dichr…
