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…
Athermal package for OH suppression filters in astronomy part 1: design
Carlos Enrique Rordriguez Alvarez, Aashia Rahman, Hakan Önel +3
We present the design of an athermal package for fiber Bragg grating (FBG)filters fabricated at our Institute for use in ground-based near-infrared (NIR) telescopes. Aperiodic mult…
ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview and future developments
A. Marconi, M. Abreu, V. Adibekyan +286
The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion E…
ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: RIZ Spectrograph preliminary design
Bruno Chazelas, Yevgeniy Ivanisenko, Audrey Lanotte +44
We present here the preliminary design of the RIZ module, one of the visible spectrographs of the ANDES instrument 1. It is a fiber-fed high-resolution, high-stability spectrograph…
TAUKAM: a new prime-focus camera for the Tautenburg Schmidt Telescope
Bringfried Stecklum, Jochen Eislöffel, Sylvio Klose +6
TAUKAM stands for "TAUtenburg KAMera", which will become the new prime-focus imager for the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope. It employs an e2v 6kx6k CCD and is under manufacture by Sp…
4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
PEPSI: The high-resolution echelle spectrograph and polarimeter for the Large Binocular Telescope
K. G. Strassmeier, I. Ilyin, A. Järvinen +26
PEPSI is the bench-mounted, two-arm, fibre-fed and stabilized Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument for the 2x8.4 m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Three spect…
4MOST - 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Eric Depagne, the 4MOST consortium
4MOST (4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a spectroscopic facility that will be installed on ESO's VISTA around 2020. The science rationale of this facility are to be foun…
4MOST - 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Roelof S. de Jong, Olga Bellido-Tirado, Cristina Chiappini +82
The 4MOST consortium is currently halfway through a Conceptual Design study for ESO with the aim to develop a wide-field (>3 square degree, goal >5 square degree), high-multiplex (…
PMAS, the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer. I. Design, Manufacture, and Performance
M. M. Roth, A. Kelz, T. Fechner +12
We describe the design, manufacture, commissioning, and performance of PMAS, the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer. PMAS is a dedicated integral field spectrophotometer, opt…
