Prototype of S4EI (spectral sampling with slicer for stellar and extragalactical instrumentation): a new generation 3D Spectro-imager

S4EI (Spectral Sampling with Slicer for Stellar and Extragalactical Instrumentation) is a new concept for extending Multichannel Subtractive Double Pass (ie S4I - Spectral Sampling with Slicer for Solar Instrumentation) to night-time astronomy. The Multichannel Subtractive Double Pass (MSDP) spectrographs have been widely used in solar spectroscopy because of their ability to provide an excellent compromise between field of view and the spatial and spectral resolutions. Compared with other spectrographs, MSDP can deliver simultaneous monochromatic images without any time-scanning requirements (as the standard Fabry-Perot), with limited loss of flux. Spatial resolution is the same as for an Imager given by the telescope: it can be very high. It is based on new generation reflecting plane image slicers working with large apertures specific to night-time telescopes. The resulting design could be potentially very attractive and innovative for different domains of astronomy, e.g., the simultaneous spatial mapping of accurately flux-calibrated emission lines between OH sky lines in extragalactic astronomy or the simultaneous imaging of stars, exoplanets and interstellar medium. The determination of physical and chemical properties of galaxies needs to observe several emission lines at different wavelengths. The combination of these lines gives access to the distribution in dust, star formation rate, metallicity, the kinematics or even to the electron density of the gas in the galaxies. The spatial resolution of MSDP allows, like the 3D or integral field spectrographs the construction of spatial distribution maps. The advantage of S4EI is that by measuring simultaneously the different lines, the relative errors of the flux calibration between the different wavelengths of the lines are potentially limited by the uncertainty of the calibration source used, which is expected to significantly reduce the associated errors and thus increase the precision and accuracy of estimates.

The Universe is comprised of hundreds of billions of galaxies, each populated by hundreds of billions of stars. Astrophysics aims to understand the complexity of this almost incommensurable number of stars, stellar clusters and galaxies, including their spatial distribution, formation, and current interactions with the interstellar and intergalactic media. A considerable fraction of astrophysical discoveries require large statistical samples, which can only be addressed with multi-object spectrographs (MOS). Here we introduce the MOSAIC study of an optical/near-infrared MOS for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), which has capabilities specified by science cases ranging from stellar physics and exoplanet studies to galaxy evolution and cosmology. Recent studies of critical technical issues such as sky-background subtraction and multi-object adaptive optics (MOAO) have demonstrated that such a MOS is feasible with current technology and techniques. In the 2020s the E-ELT will become the world’s largest optical/IR telescope, and we argue that it has to be equipped as soon as possible with a MOS. MOSAIC will provide a vast discovery space, enabled by a multiplex of ∼ 200 and spectral resolving powers of R = 5 000 and 20 000. MOSAIC will also offer the unique capability of 10-to-20 ‘high-definition’ (MOAO) integral-field units, optimised to investigate the physics of the sources of reionisation, providing the most efficient follow-up of observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The combination of these modes will enable the study of the mass-assembly history of galaxies over cosmic time, including high-redshift dwarf galaxies and studies of the distribution of the intergalactic medium. It will also provide spectroscopy of resolved stars in external galaxies at unprecedented distances, from the outskirts of the Local Group for main-sequence stars, to a significant volume of the local Universe, including nearby galaxy clusters, for luminous red supergiants.
