New Science Opportunities Offered by MUSE

  • Conference paper
Science with the VLT in the ELT Era

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings ((ASSSP))

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer MUSE [MUSE public web site: http://muse.univ-lyon1.fr] is one of the second generation VLT instruments. MUSE is a wide-field optical integral field spectrograph operating in the visible wavelength range with improved spatial resolution. The MUSE Consortium consists of groups at Lyon (PI institute, CRAL), Gottingen (IAG), Potsdam (AIP), Leiden (NOVA), Toulouse (LATT), Zurich (ETH) and ESO. The project is currently in its final design phase. Manufacturing, assembly and integration will start after the Final Design Review which is foreseen for late 2008. The Preliminary acceptance in Europe is scheduled for mid 2011 and the instrument shall be in operation at Paranal in 2012.
