Milky Way disc & Bulge in situ populations: ESO white paper - Expanding horizons call
M. Bergemann, G. Kordopatis, G. Casali +11
The formation and evolution of the Milky Way's disc, bar, and bulge remain fundamentally limited by the lack of a contiguous, Galaxy-wide, high-precision chemo-dynamical map. Key o…
WST -- Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: Motivation, science drivers and top-level requirements for a new dedicated facility
Roland Bacon, Vincenzo Maineiri, Sofia Randich +37
In this paper, we describe the wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) project. WST is a 12-metre wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope with simultaneous operation of a…
HRMOS White Paper: Science Motivation
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Anna Brucalassi +52
The High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (HRMOS) is a facility instrument that we plan to propose for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO)…
CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future
S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86
In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…
The CUBES Science Case
Chris Evans, Stefano Cristiani, Cyrielle Opitom +51
We introduce the scientific motivations for the development of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) that is now in construction for the Very Large Telescope. The as…
CUBES and its software ecosystem: instrument simulation, control, and data processing
Giorgio Calderone, Roberto Cirami, Guido Cupani +11
CUBES (Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph) is the recently approved high-efficiency VLT spectrograph aimed to observe the sky in the UV ground-based region (305-400 nm) with…
