17. High-Resolution Multi Object Spectrograph for the VLT: an overview

Anna Brucalassi (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

22/10/2021, 09:00

In this talk I will give a general overview of the HRMOS spectrograph concept design for the VLT . Different approaches and optical solutions will be also discussed in order to be compliant with the scientific requirements.

40. Options for the HRMOS fibre positioner

Dr Jon Lawrence

HRMOS is envisaged as a high-resolution fibre-fed spectrograph with a moderate degree of multiplex capability, installed on one of the 8m Unit Telescopes on the VLT. Here we consider options for the fibre positioning system for HRMOS. One option is to refurbish the existing OzPoz positioner that is part of the FLAMES facility. OzPoz is a pick and place robotic fibre positioner commissioned in...

35. A new fibre positioner solution for the HRMOS front-end

Oscar Gonzalez (UKATC)

22/10/2021, 09:50

In this talk I will present a new concept for a telescopic fibre positioner in a theta-r or theta-phi-r configuration as a potential solution for the High-Resolution Multi Object Spectrograph for the VLT. The positioner concept, being developed at the UKATC, builds up from the technology of MOONS and KMOS instruments to provide a fast field reconfiguration, close packing for high-density...

10. The Data Management Advantage of MOS

Dr C.Clare Worley (University of Cambridge)

22/10/2021, 10:15

The proposed HRMOS is the next step in pursuing, on a large scale, precise chemical characterisation of stellar populations. A number of new medium-to-low resolution spectroscopic survey instruments, in operation or under development, provide a wealth of data on a very large scale from which key subsets can extracted as input to higher resolution spectroscopic surveys (e.g. with HRMOS). While...
