A High Throughput Multi-Object Double Spectrograph for the Large Binocular Telescope

Osmer奖摘要AST-9987045部分资金用于设计和建造大型双目望远镜（LBT）的多目标双光谱仪（MODS）。 对于0.6弧秒宽的狭缝，该仪器将具有一系列中间光谱分辨率（103至106）。 它将通过使用两个单独的光学通道提供从320到1000纳米的高通量波长，一个针对蓝色进行了优化，另一个针对红色进行了优化。 光谱仪将采用开放式架构，模块化设计方法，光学元件数量最少。 该设计是创新的，因为它能够接受预测的自适应光学（A/O）单元。研究活动包括星系的形成和演化以及宇宙结构的起源。

Osmer award abstractAST-9987045Partial funding is sought to design and build a Multi-Object Double Spectrograph (MODS) for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). The instrument will have a range of intermediate spectral resolutions (103 to 106) for a 0.6 arc-second wide slit. It will deliver high throughout from 320 to 1000 Nanometers wavelengths through the use of two separate optical channels, one optimized for the blue, the other for the red. The spectrograph will use an open architecture, modular design approach with a minimum number of optical elements. The design is innovative as demonstrated by its capability to accept a forecasted Adaptive Optics (A/O) unit.Research activities include the formation and evolution of galaxies and the origin of structure in the universe.***
