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…
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…
Exploration of small footprint stick-slip piezoelectric actuators for use in the FLEX fibre positioner system for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST)
Joseph W. Barrow, Suryansh Saxena, Jon S. Lawrence +2
This work presents a novel stick-slip piezoelectric actuator for the FLEX fibre positioner, addressing the challenge of reducing footprint while maintaining precision in next-gener…
High multiplex and precision: the design and development of FLEX, a grid-based fiber positioner with large patrol radius and minimized telecentric error
Aaron Omadutt, Roelof S. de Jong, Will Saunders +5
In next-generation spectroscopic facilities, high-multiplex fiber positioning systems must operate within highly constrained focal surfaces, such as the Wide-Field Spectroscopic Te…
WST Multi-Object Spectrograph Fiber Positioners:Development of a 32,000-Unit Precision Robotic System
Sébastien Pernecker, Maxime Rombach, Malak Galal +13
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope Multi-Object Spectrograph requires an unprecedented fiber positioning system comprising 30'000 low-resolution and 2'000 high-resolution posit…
Hector Galaxy Survey: Optical IFU and Chandra Reveal a Low-Luminosity AGN Behind Extended LINER Emission
Kyuseok Oh, Gabriella Quattropani, Pratyush Kumar Das +25
We present evidence that the Hector Galaxy Survey galaxy C901005481609968 (), which exhibits spatially extended LINER-like emission in optical integral-field spe…
The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: science drivers and overview of instrument design
Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud, Florence Laurent +47
BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). With an optimised transmission…
WST -- Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: addressing the instrumentation challenges of a new 12m class telescope dedicated to widefield Multi-object and Integral Field Spectroscopy
David Lee, Joel D. R. Vernet, Roland Bacon +23
WST - Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope: We summarise the design challenges of instrumentation for a proposed 12m class Telescope that aims to provide a large (>2.5 square degree)…
