Scientific paper

Following positive recommendations from ESO's Scientific and Technical Committee in October 2003, the development of three new VLT instruments - HAWK-I, X-shooter and KMOS - has now been approved and launched. All three had been the subject of detailed PhaseA studies conducted or contracted by the Instrumentation Division and whose results were presented to the STC together with the various Review Board reports. We sketch here briefly the main science drivers and foreseen characteristics of these instruments but with the caveat that not everything is yet frozen and that complete implementation still depends on raising external funding as well as various technical issues. More detailed descriptions of these instruments and their progress will be reported in future issues.
