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…
HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
Recent and Upcoming Upgrades for MIRC-X and MYSTIC on the CHARA Array
Noura Ibrahim, Mayra Gutierrez, John D. Monnier +17
MIRC-X and MYSTIC are six-telescope near-infrared beam (1.08-2.38 m) combiners at the CHARA Array on Mt Wilson CA, USA. Ever since the commissioning of MIRC-X (J and H bands) in…
A Precision Cryogenic Positioning Stage for Detector Dithering and Flexure Compensation
Stephen A. Smee, Stephen C. Hope, Randolph P. Hammond +20
This paper presents the design and technical progress of a precision X-Y stage for detector dithering and flexure compensation. The stage is being developed for use in the Magellan…
A Novel Freeform Slicer IFU for the Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS)
Maren Cosens, Nicholas P. Konidaris, Gwen C. Rudie +16
The Magellan InfraRed Multi-Object Spectrograph (MIRMOS) is a planned next generation multi-object and integral field spectrograph for the 6.5m Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas…
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…
Upgrading the high contrast imaging facility SPHERE: science drivers and instrument choices
A. Boccaletti, G. Chauvin, F. Wildi +71
SPHERE+ is a proposed upgrade of the SPHERE instrument at the VLT, which is intended to boost the current performances of detection and characterization for exoplanets and disks. S…
Spectrograph design for the Asgard/BIFROST spectro-interferometric instrument for the VLTI
Sorabh Chhabra, Michele Frangiamore, Stefan Kraus +4
The BIFROST instrument will be the first VLTI instrument optimised for high spectral resolution up to R=25,000 and operate between 1.05 and 1.7 m. A key component of the instrum…
