Son Of X-Shooter

SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) will be a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO-NTT 3.5-m telescope in La Silla (Chile). The design foresees a high-efficiency spectrograph with a resolution-slit product of ~ 4,500, capable of simultaneously observing the complete spectral range 350 - 2000 nm with a good sensitivity, and with imaging capabilities in the visible band (ugrizY) over a circular field of view of 1.5’ radius.
