“…SDSS J1617+3827). In addition to the current telescopes at the RMO, we will try to use the successor of the LT (LT2; Copperwheat et al 2015) and the World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSO-UV; Shustov et al 2014). These two new facilities will be operational in the first half of the next decade, and the UV space telescope may provide details on continuum sources in the surroundings of supermassive black holes.…”

In the framework of the Gravitational LENses and DArk MAtter (GLENDAMA) project, we present a database of nine gravitationally lensed quasars (GLQs) that have two or four images brighter than r = 20 mag and are located in the northern hemisphere. This new database consists of a rich variety of follow-up observations included in the GLENDAMA global archive, which is publicly available online and contains 6557 processed astronomical frames of the nine lens systems over the period 1999−2016. In addition to the GLQs, our archive also incorporates binary quasars, accretion-dominated radio-loud quasars, and other objects, where about 50% of the non-GLQs were observed as part of a campaign to identify GLQ candidates. Most observations of GLQs correspond to an ongoing long-term macro-programme with 2−10 m telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, and these data provide information on the distribution of dark matter at all scales. We outline some previous results from the database, and we additionally obtain new results for several GLQs that update the potential of the tool for astrophysical studies.

World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet project is an international space observatory for spectroscopy and imaging in 115-310 nm spectral range. Significant progress in the CCD development allows to use the back illuminated CCD detectors with anti-reflection coating for observations in this ultraviolet domain instead of MCP detectors. This detector change was one of the main reason for significant correction of layouts of all three WSO-UV spectrographs. In this paper we present the final optical layouts that are now being realized in the WUVS instrument. The using of implemented technological changes in optical layout allows to keep main requirements to WSO-UV spectrographs.

“…Specific data on the WSO-UV project (telescope, satellite, orbit, launcher, ground segment, etc.) are given in [1][2][3][4][5]. The WSO-UV telescope feeds in its focal plane two main instruments for spectroscopy (unit of spectrographs -WUVS) and imaging (field camera unit -ISSIS) as well as Fine Guidance System (FGS).…”

Dedicated to spectroscopic and imaging observations of the ultraviolet sky, the World Space Observatory -Ultraviolet mission is a Russian-Spanish collaboration. The project consists of a 1.7m telescope with instrumentation able to perform: a) high resolution (R ≥50 000) spectroscopy by means of two echellé spectrographs covering the 115-310 nm spectral range; b) long slit (1x75 arcsec) low resolution (R ∼ 1000) spectroscopy with a near-UV channel and a far-UV channel to cover the 115-305 nm spectral range; c) near-UV and a far-UV imaging channels covering the 115-320 nm wavelength range; d) slitless spectroscopy with spectral resolution of about 500 in the full 115-320 nm spectral range.Here we present the WSO-UV focal plane instruments, their status of implementation, and the expected performances.
