Multi-site continuous spectroscopy IV. Proceedings.
Abstract
MUSICOS stands for MUlti-SIte COntinuous Spectroscopy, and is a project to facilitate multi-site observations in high resolution spectroscopy. Many scientific programs related to stellar physics have a strong need for continuous spectroscopic monitoring. The goal of MUSICOS is to make multi-site spectroscopic observations on 2 m class telescopes an easy and efficient operation. A three-step strategy was defined for MUSICOS: 1. Organize multi-site, multi-wavelength campaigns, with the existing instruments, and by using transportable fiber-fed spectrographs on 2 m telescopes without adequate spectrographs. 2. Define, design and build to prototype of a cheap spectrograph meeting the requirements of the scientific programs needing multi-site observations. 3. Duplicate this spectrograph and install the copies on telescopes of the 2 m class around the world. The authors have now completed step 2 of this overall strategy.
