Descripción
This document describes the scientific case for a wide-field 6.5-m spectroscopic telescope. The key scientific aims are linked to two different modes of operation: 1) Study the detailed astrophysics of extended systems via high-quality, medium-resolution spectroscopy using multiple Integral Field Units (IFU) and 2) Study the structure of the Universe via multiple, single-fiber spectroscopy of distant and/or compact systems. This wide-field spectroscopic facility will complement and extend present facilities, greatly enhancing the potential for new discoveries while at the same time minimizing the chances of scientific failure. Strategically we aim to address the widest possible range of astrophysically competitive areas while minimizing the number of instruments.

    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
