1. E-ELT-HIRES possible design and capabilities E. Oliva (INAF-Firenze) B. Delabre (ESO) 14.09.2012E. Oliva B. Delabre, ELT-HIRES, Cambridge1 o A very brief overview of what could be done within reasonable technological limits. o Fundamental approach: highly modular concept. o Modules and observing modes may be added or removed following a trade-off study between scientific priorities and technical/cost constraints.

2. E-ELT-HIRES possible scheme of instrument modules 14.09.2012E. Oliva B. Delabre, ELT-HIRES, Cambridge2 o 4 Independent fiber-fed spectrometer modules optimized over 4 spectral ranges (UB, VI, YH, K). o Different observing modes are obtained using different/independent groups of fibers feeding each spectrometer. o Observing mode is selected in the pre-slit section (fore-optics) of each spectrometer.  HR mode has fixed optics  stability OK

4. E-ELT-HIRES possible observing modes 14.09.2012E. Oliva B. Delabre, ELT-HIRES, Cambridge4 o MR-MOS mode for all modules/wavelengths. o Possibility of parallel modes, e.g. MR-MOS in optical while observing a red object with HR in IR. o HR 2 IFU/MOS only in IR where AO correction works. o Patrol field of MR-MOS mode: depends on where its fibers positioner is located.
