多目标光学和近红外光谱仪 (MOONS) 仪器是甚大望远镜 (VLT) 的下一代多目标光谱仪。该仪器将单个机器人定位器部署的 1000 根光纤提供的高复用能力与新型光谱仪相结合，能够在 0.64μm - 1.8μm 的波长范围内同时提供低分辨率和高分辨率光谱。在 8 米 VLT 收集区的支持下，MOONS 将为天文学界提供世界领先的设施，能够服务于广泛的银河系、河外系和宇宙学研究。本文提供了该仪器及其构建进度的最新概述，报告了正在进行的集成阶段。
The Multi Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph (MOONS) instrument is the next generation multi-object spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The instrument combines the high multiplexing capability offered by 1000 optical fibres deployed by individual robotic positioners with a novel spectrograph able to provide both low- and high-resolution spectroscopy simultaneously across the wavelength range 0.64μm - 1.8μm. Powered by the collecting area of the 8-m VLT, MOONS will provide the astronomical community with a world-leading facility able to serve a wide range of Galactic, Extragalactic and Cosmological studies. This paper provides an updated overview of the instrument and its construction progress, reporting on the ongoing integration phase.
