KMOS: an infrared multi-integral field spectrograph for the VLT
We describe a proposed 2 generation instrument (KMOS) for the ESO VLT which will deliver a unique multiple deployable integral field capability in the near-infrared (1-2.5ìm). The science drivers for such an instrument are presented and linked to the functional specification. The overall instrument concept is discussed in the context of two proposed solutions for delivering a deployable integra...
متن کاملSpectroscopy on Small Telescopes: the Echelle Spectrograph
In recent years there has been a trend toward the automation of modest sized observatories, especially those involved with photoelectric photometry. Although undoubtedly useful, there is clearly a need for more advanced instrumentation such as spectrographs. The relatively small telescope sizes places severe limits on the choice of spectrograph configuration. A fiber-fed echelle spectrograph is...
متن کاملSINFONI observations of Nearby AGN and Design of an interferometric integral-field spectrograph for the LBT
The high energy output of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is due to the accretion of material onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and implies the presence of a gas reservoir close to the AGN. Furthermore, according to the Unified Model of AGN, the gas also plays an important role in the aspect-angle obscuration of the nucleus produced by a molecular/dusty torus. In the case of Type 2 AGN the...
متن کاملThe SAURON project – I. The panoramic integral-field spectrograph
A new integral-field spectrograph, SAURON, is described. It is based on the TIGER principle, and uses a lenslet array. SAURON has a large field of view and high throughput, and allows simultaneous sky subtraction. Its design is optimized for studies of the stellar kinematics, gas kinematics, and line-strength distributions of nearby earlytype galaxies. The instrument design and specifications a...
متن کاملKMOS: an infrared multiple object integral field spectrograph for the ESO VLT
We describe the design of a 2 generation instrument for the ESO VLT which will deliver a unique multiple deployable integral field capability in the near-infrared (1-2.5μm). The science drivers for the instrument are presented and linked to the functional specification. The baseline instrument concept is described with emphasis on technological innovations. Detailed discussions of specific tech...
