Abstract:The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) is a high-efficiency spectrograph designed for observations from 305 to 400nm. It will be integrated at a Cassegrain focus of the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The image slicer technology is applied to reformat the field of view reducing the spectrograph entrance slit etendue and minimising the spectrograph volume and weight without slit losses. Two image slicers will provide CUBES with two spectral resolving powers: R≥20,000 for high resolution (HR) and R≥5,0… Show more
