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. ***

南方天体物理研究望远镜(SOAR)的高级技术光学光谱仪计划为位于智利塞罗帕雄的南方天体物理研究望远镜使用一台多用途成像光谱仪。一些特点是1.所有折射仪器的工作范围为320到850 nm；2.五角分乘五角分的视场，每像素采样0.146角秒；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.在视场角落的图像质量劣化小于0.13角秒；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进行全面和非常全面的观测计划。这个项目是由一个私人基金会共同资助的：古德曼基金会。***
