HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212
WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…
4MOST Scientific Operations
C. J. Walcher, M. Banerji, C. Battistini +65
The 4MOST instrument is a multi-object spectrograph that will address Galactic and extragalactic science cases simultaneously by observing targets from a large number of different…
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…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical determination of the precision of stellar radial velocities and projected rotation velocities
R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, J. Lewis +58
The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs)…
Climbing the cosmic ladder with stellar twins
P. Jofre, T. Maedler, G. Gilmore +3
Distances to stars are key to revealing a three-dimensional view of the Milky Way, yet their determination is a major challenge in astronomy. Whilst the brightest nearby stars bene…
