Single object observations: Large telescopes vs. multiple small telescopes
Sagi Ben-Ami, Eran Oded Ofek
A significant fraction of large-telescope observing time is devoted to single-object spectroscopy and photometry. We compare the cost-effectiveness of different telescope architect…
The SOXS Spectrograph Instrument Control Software
Davide Ricci, Bernardo Salasnich, Andrea Baruffolo +51
SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is a new spectrograph for the European Southern Observatory (ESO), recently installed at the New Technology Telescope (NTT) at the La Silla Observatory, Chi…
An Integral Field Unit for the Binospec Spectrograph
Daniel Fabricant, Sagi Ben-Ami, Igor Chilingarian +5
Binospec is a wide-field optical (360 to 1000 nm) spectrograph commissioned at the MMT 6.5m telescope in 2017. In direct imaging mode Binospec addresses twin 8 (wide) by 1…
HighSpec: A High-Resolution Spectrograph for the MAST Telescope Array
Yahel Sofer Rimalt, Sagi Ben-Ami, Eran Ofek +13
We present the updated design of HighSpec, a high-resolution spectrograph designed for the Multi Aperture Spectroscopic Telescope (MAST). HighSpec offers…
Automated scheduler for the SOXS instrument: design and performance
Laura Asquini, Marco Landoni, Dave Young +49
We present the advancements in the development of the scheduler for the Son Of X-shooter instrument at the ESO-NTT 3.58-m telescope in La Silla, Chile. SOXS is designed as a single…
End-to-End simulation framework for astronomical spectrographs: SOXS, CUBES and ANDES
A. Scaudo, M. Genoni, G. Li Causi +73
We present our numerical simulation approach for the End-to-End (E2E) model applied to various astronomical spectrographs, such as SOXS (ESO-NTT), CUBES (ESO-VLT), and ANDES (ESO-E…
