The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST): design trade-offs for the low-resolution multi-object spectrograph instrument
Dimitri Buffat, Will Saunders, Kjetil Dohlen +10
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter-class dedicated spectroscopic facility designed to address key scientific challenges through large spectroscopic…
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…
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…
The HST-Hyperion Survey: Environmental Imprints on the Stellar-Mass Function at z~2.5
Derek Sikorski, Ben Forrest, Brian C. Lemaux +19
Not all galaxies at Cosmic Noon evolve in the same way. It remains unclear how the local environment -- especially the extreme overdensities of protoclusters -- affects stellar mas…
Designing the Community Infrastructure for ESO's Next Transformational Facility. Equitable Governance and Sustainable Teams for 2040s Astronomy
Annagrazia Puglisi, Amelia Bayo, Laurane Freour +7
The scientific ambitions of the 2040s will require large, interdisciplinary teams operating across continents, institutions, and increasingly heterogeneous political and funding la…
Spin-filament alignments to unravel galaxy evolution and model intrinsic alignments
Stefania Barsanti, Clotilde Laigle, Nicolas Bouché +7
By the 2040s, several all-sky surveys will have transformed our view of the large-scale structure. However, one of the major outstanding questions in astrophysics will remain: unde…
