The new SOXS instrument for the ESO NTT [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.03729


SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) will be a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO-NTT 3.5-m telescope in La Silla (Chile), able to cover the optical/NIR band (350-1750 nm). The design foresees a high-efficiency spectrograph with a resolution-slit product of ~4,500, capable of simultaneously observing the complete spectral range 350 – 1750 nm with a good sensitivity, with light imaging capabilities in the visible band. This paper outlines the status of the project.
