WST instrument Exposure Time Calculator: full simulation of multi-mode spectrograph performance from source to detector
Matteo Ferro, Matteo Genoni, Henri M. J. Boffin +13
We present a comprehensive Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) developed for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) concept. The WST, currently in its conceptual phase, is designe…
Sustainability as a design parameter in the early development of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
L. Fréour, E. Burtin, R. Bacon +13
The paper describes how sustainability is being incorporated into the early design of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope by using life‑cycle assessments to evaluate the carbon…
WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy
Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +53
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a dedicated 12-m spectroscopic survey facility designed to address some of the most important questions in astrophysic…
WST, the wide-field spectroscopic telescope: progress on the design of the instruments
David Lee, Joel Vernet, Elizabeth George +47
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…
Embedding Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the WST Collaboration
Laurane Fréour, Anna Puglisi, Maria Cristina Fortuna +11
The proposed Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a next-generation telescope facility with a 12-meter primary mirror that may be operational in the 2040s. The project has a…
