Description
A new photometric system suitable for deep, precise and quick metallicity mapping in galaxies is proposed. We find a linear correlation between our metallicity index and the Mg_2 index for stellar, globular-cluster, and early-type galaxy spectra, and model spectral energy distributions of the simple stellar populations.

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength

    An overview of the preliminary optical design of the European Solar Telescope (EST)
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4-m class-solar telescope that will become part of the next generation of groundbased facilities. Located at the "Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos" in La Palma (Spain), it will be aimed to study the magnetic connectivity of the solar atmosphere with high spatial and temporal resolution. The EST optical

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: UBV spectrograph preliminary design
    We present the design of the ANDES UBV module, the bluest spectrograph of the ANDES instrument. It is a fiber-fed high resolution, high stability spectrograph, which will be installed on the ELT-Nasmyth platform to minimize blue fibre losses from the focal plane to the spectrograph. In this paper we present the status of development of the
