The probabilistic random forest applied to the QUBRICS survey: improving the selection of high-redshift quasars with synthetic data
Francesco Guarneri, Giorgio Calderone, Stefano Cristiani +10
Several recent works have focused on the search for bright, high-z quasars (QSOs) in the South. Among them, the QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere (…
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, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph
S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcalá, S. H. P. Alencar +74
In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Casse…
The CUBES Instrument Model and Simulation Tools. Their role in the project Phase A study
Matteo Genoni, Marco Landoni, Guido Cupani +8
We present the simulation tools developed to aid the design phase of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), exploring aspects of t…
CUBES Phase A design overview -- The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope
Alessio Zanutta, Stefano Cristiani, David Atkinson +51
We present the baseline conceptual design of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) for the Very Large Telescope. CUBES will provide unprecedented sensitivity for spe…
