Description
ESPRESSO is a new generation, super stable, high-resolution optical
spectrograph, conceived to obtain the best performance in Doppler shift
measurements. A concept study of the instrument is being carried out by
a Consortium of scientific institutions formed by ESO, OG, IAC, INAF and
Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, all of them leaded by ESO (see
Pasquini et al., these proceedings). Within this framework, the
optomechanical, mechanical, and thermal conceptual design of ESPRESSO is
being developed by engineers at the IAC. This contribution presents an
overview of the current optomechanical conceptual design of this
spectrograph.
