  1. X-shooter Vincenzo Mainieri (USD) Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  2. X-shooter • Single target medium resolution (R=3300-18200) spectrograph • Covers a wide wavelength range (300-2500 nm) • Consists of 3 arms, each a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph • UVB, covering the wavelength range 300-559.5 nm • VIS, covering the wavelength range 559.5-1024 nm • NIR, covering the wavelength range 1024-2480 nm P89: 132 proposal (second only to FORS2) Pressure factor ~ 4 (highest at VLT) Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  3. The light path Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  4. Observing with X-shooter • Two observing modes: SLIT and IFU spectroscopy • All X-shooter OBs are composed of an acquisition template followed by one or several science templates Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  5. Target acquisition Blind offsets PA Target fainter than mag=21-22 A good finding chart! Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  6. Spectroscopic observations NIR DIT (>300s): 480, 600, 900, 1200 s Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  7. Spectroscopic observations P89 Low background in J and H !!! 0.6” & 0.9” slits with K band blocking filter Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012

  8. More information • X-shooter User Manual • Instrument News web-page • … and tutorial this afternoon. Phase 2 Users Workshop | 12.01.2012
