FIDEOS

Fiber Dual Echelle Optical Spectrograph

This spectrograph saw first light in June 2016 and operated on the ESO 1-metre telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile.

BlueShadows developed the instrument’s control software as part of this project.

High-resolution spectroscopy is an extremely valuable tool in the study of a wide variety of celestial objects and phenomena. Observations of great interest can be obtained with this technique almost with any size telescope. In particular moderate-size telescopes proved to be an extremely useful complement to bigger instruments when equipped with suitable spectrographs. It is mainly for this reason that our team embraced the challenge of providing the scientific community with spectrographs able to make the best use of the small- and medium-size telescopes available in Chile, which currently tend to be underused or decommissioned.

Do you need to develop software to operate a spectrograph, integrate its electronic components, automate observations, or improve its data flow?
