The Ultraviolet-Visible Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) was the first instrument installed at the second VLT Unit Telescope KUEYEN at the end of 1999. UVES is a high-resolution cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph covering the wavelength domain from the ultraviolet at 300 nm to the near-infrared at 1100 nm with two optical arms, which can be used in dichroic mode for parallel observations (Dekker et al., 2000). Its large-size echelle gratings, each 84 cm long, make it possible to achieve a spectral resolution of up to 80,000 in the blue arm and 115,000 in the red. It is equipped with 3 CCD detectors each of size 4K ´ 2K pixels, one EEV CCD in the blue arm, and an EEV/MIT CCD mosaic in the red arm. Commissioning observations have shown the high intrinsic efficiency of this instrument, particularly in the ultraviolet domain (13% at 360 nm). More than 200 hours of scientific observations from UVES commissioning and science verification time have been released for public use. The instrument started regular operation in visitor and service mode on A p r i l1 , 2000, and is used for about 75% of the telescope time (D'Odorico, 2000).
