An Advanced Technology Optical Spectrograph for the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope

AST-0096775 Clemens，James C.南方天体物理研究望远镜的先进技术光学光谱仪（SOAR）计划为智利Cerro Pachon的南方天体物理研究望远镜提供一个多用途成像光谱仪。一些特点是1.所有折射仪器在320至850 nm范围内工作; 2. 5弧分× 5弧分视场，每像素采样0.146弧秒; 3.光谱分辨率在900到9，000之间; 4.最大光谱分辨率为14，000; 5.图像质量下降小于0.13弧秒，在现场角落和6。光谱透过率为65%。计划在恒星天体物理学、银河系天文学和银河系外天文学方面实施一个全面和非常全面的观测方案。该项目由一个私人基金会共同资助：古德曼基金会。***

AST-0096775Clemens, James C.Advanced Technology Optical Spectrograph for the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope (SOAR)A multi-purpose imaging spectrometer is planned for the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope at Cerro Pachon, Chile. Some features are 1. All refracting instrument operating from 320 to 850 nm; 2. Five arc-minute by five arc-minute field of view with 0.146 arcsecond per pixel sampling; 3. Spectral resolution between 900 and 9,000; 4. Maximum spectral resolution of 14,000; 5. Image quality degradation of less than 0.13 arc-seconds at the field corners and 6. Spectroscopic transmittance of 65%. A full and very comprehensive observing program in stellar astrophysics, galactic astronomy and extra-galactic astronomy are scheduled. This project is co-funded from a private foundation: the Goodman Foundation. ***
