HERMES: a high-resolution fibre-fed spectrograph for the Mercator telescope

HERMES: a high-resolution fibre-fed spectrograph for the Mercator telescope

The HERMES high-resolution spectrograph project aims at exploiting the specific potential of small but flexible telescopes in observational astrophysics. The optimised optical design of the spectrograph is based on the well-proven concept of white-pupil beam folding for high-resolution spectroscopy. In this contribution we present the complete project, including the spectrograph …
