Successful commissioning of FORS1 - the first optical instrument on the VLT.
Abstract
FORS, the FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph, has been designed as an all-dioptric Cassegrain instrument for the wavelength range from 330 nm to 1100 mm. The FORS schedule foresees a second commissioning period after the assessment of the data from the first commissioning; after this the instrument is officially handed over to ESO.
