Overview of the Wide Field Spectroscopic Telescope

Résumé fourni par la source

The WST project aims to design and construct an innovative 12-metre wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) in the southern hemisphere. It will feature the parallel operation of two cutting-edge instruments: a high-multiplex (30,000), large field-of-view (3 square degrees) multi-object spectrograph (MOS), operating in both low- and high-resolution modes, and a giant panoramic integral field spectrograph (IFS). WST's ambitious top-level requirements place it well ahead of all existing and planned spectroscopic facilities, enabling transformative science across a wide range of astrophysical domains. In this talk, I will present an overview of the facility as a reference framework for the scientifically focused contributions proposed in this workshop.
