Scientific paper

In the fall of 2001 and largely based on the June 2001 Workshop “Scientific Drivers for future VLT/VLTI Instrumentation”, four main scientific objectives were highlighted by the ESO STC: (a) A Near-Infrared (1-2.4 μm) Cryogenic Multi-Object Spectrometer (“KMOS”) for the study of initial galaxy mass assembly. (b) A wide-field 3D Optical Spectrometer (“3D Deep-Field Surveyor”) for the exploration of the early Universe. (c) A Medium Resolution Wide-band Spectrometer (“Fast-Shooter”), in particular to catch fast astronomical events from Supernova explosions to gamma ray bursts. (d) A High-contrast, Adaptive Optics assisted Imager (“Planet Finder”) for deep study of nearby stellar environments. Based on this selection, a “Call for Preliminary Proposals” was issued in November 2001, with the deadline set on 18 February 2002.
