UVES是自1999年10月以来安装在ESO VLT的UT2望远镜的Nasmyth焦点上的双光束梯形光谱仪。在蓝色和红色手臂上，它可以分别达到80000和115000的分辨率。该仪器具有稳定性好、效率高的特点。新望远镜和仪器的顺利运行在调试过程中产生了大量非常有趣的科学观测。文中给出了利用这些数据进行科学研究的实例，以说明其独特的紫外光效率、分辨率以及高的S/N能力和远红外效率。
UVES is a dual beam echelle spectrograph installed at the Nasmyth focus of the UT2 telescope of the ESO VLT since October 1999. It can reach a resolution of 80000 and 115000 in the blue and red arm, respectively. The instrument is characterized by great stability and high efficiency. The smooth operation of both the new telescope and instrument has lead to a remarkable number of highly interesting scientific observations during commissioning. Examples of scientific work on these data are presented to illustrate the unique UV efficiency, the resolving power and high S/N capability and far red efficiency.
