" EVE: Wide Field medium resolution multi-object spectroscopy for the E_ELT "
Gavin Dalton
(Oxford University/Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)
The primary aim of the E-ELT design is to provide facility adaptive
optics as the basic mode of operation of the telescope. However,
simulations suggest that this mode may only be utilised for ~50% of
the available observting time. EVE is an instrument concept to work
with medium resolution spectroscopy (R~5000-30000) in the visible and
NIR over the widest field of view accessible to the E-ELT to provide a
workhorse facility instrument that can begin science from first light
in natural- or GLAO-assisted seeing conditions. This talk will discuss
the instrument concept design, the major scientific objectives, and a
possible precursor instrument for an existing 4m-class telescope. I
will conclude with a brief summary of the current status of the VISTA
telescope.
