Relevant Optical Issues of the SPM-Twin Telescopes

Most technical aspects of the SPM-Twin Telescopes have been basically solved by the Magellan and MMTprojects. However, the Spectroscopic “Wide Field Telescope” will be the first of its kind and an opticalsolution based on Magellan needs to be further investigated. In addition, the requirements for a...

Descrição
Resumo:Most technical aspects of the SPM-Twin Telescopes have been basically solved by the Magellan and MMTprojects. However, the Spectroscopic “Wide Field Telescope” will be the first of its kind and an opticalsolution based on Magellan needs to be further investigated. In addition, the requirements for adaptive opticsfor the Standard Field Telescope need to be worked out. In this contribution we will compare optical wide fieldconceptual designs and the potential scope of AO for SPM-Twin
