Abstract

Following the idea originally proposed during the ESO-Workshop The Very Large Telescope in 2030, the concept of a high resolution spectrograph for the VLT has been further explored, both for the science and technological aspects. Such an instrument will fill a gap in capabilities amongst the landscape of future instrumentation planned for the next decade. Its key characteristic will be high spectral resolution (R = 60000-80000) with multi-object (50-100) capabilities and, possibly, a stability that would provide high radial velocity precision (∼10m/s). In this work, we describe the science cases and driving science requirements for the instrument. Furthermore we will present some design solutions and technical options considered to meet... (More)
