KMOS: An infrared multiple object integral field spectrograph for the ESO VLT

Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 5492:PART 3 (2004) 1179-1186

Authors:

RM Sharples, R Bender, M Lehnert, SKR Howat, MN Bremer, RL Davies, R Genzel, R Hofmann, RJ Ivison, R Saglia, NA Thatte

Abstract:

We describe the design of a 2nd generation instrument for the ESO VLT which will deliver a unique multiple deployable integral field capability in the near-infrared (1-2.5μm). The science drivers for the instrument are presented and linked to the functional specification. The baseline instrument concept is described with emphasis on technological innovations. Detailed discussions of specific technologies, and ongoing prototype studies, are described in separate papers.
