Description

will introduce BlueMUSE, a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph proposed for the Very Large Telescope. The project is an evolution of the technology used on the very successful MUSE instrument, with a new and distinct science case enabled by its unique blue spectral coverage, together with a larger field of view and improved spectral resolution.
BlueMUSE will complement future facilities for a variety of science cases, from comets to the high redshift Universe.
I will present a few science cases which will in particular benefit from the strong synergies between BlueMUSE and the
MAVIS instrument.
