  1. HIRDES UV Spectrographs Phase-B1-Study @WIC Moscow June, 2006 N. Kappelmann

  2. History of the High Resolution Double Echelle Spectrograph: 1998 –2006 (WSO/UV): 2000 - 2001 HIRDES Phase – A - Study 2002 - 2004 Efforts to finance a Phase - A2 - Study (ns) 2005 - 2006 Phase - B1 - Study

  3. Design Criteria Phase A Wavelength Coverage : 103 – 320 nm Spectral Resolution : > 50.000 Simultaneous Coverage : as far as possible Possibility to Observe Bright Stars Improvement of FE of the MCP-Detector High Resolution Double Echelle Spectrograph (HIRDES) VUVES : 102.8 – 175.6 nm l/dl :55.000 UVES : 174.5 – 310.0 nm l/dl : 50.000 LSS : 102.8 – 310.0 nm l/dl : 320, spatial res: 1 - 2 arcsec

  4. B1-Study-Priority: Solving Interface Questions WSO/UV spacecraft interfaces, i.e. Optical Bench Plate, External Instrument Plate and Protective Case

  5. Work Share: Germany - Russia

  6. Design Criteria Phase B1 Wavelength Coverage : 103 – 310 nm Spectral Resolution : > 50.000 Simultaneous Coverage : as far as possible Possibility to Observe Bright Stars Improvement of FE of the MCP-Detector „Slit – Monitor“ Reduction of Mechanisms High Resolution Double Echelle Spectrograph (HIRDES) VUVES : 102.8 – 175.6 nm l/dl :55.000 UVES : 174.5 – 310.0 nm l/dl : 50.000

  7. Mechanical Layout: Three Independent Spectrographs Redundant Detectors Grey Filter Calibration Lamps UBV Detectors Tip/Tilt Mechanics

  8. UV Spectrograph - In Field Fine Guidance with Lens In field reflected at prism front surface towards focus mirror via lens onto fine guidance detector VUV Spectrograph - In Field Fine Guidance In field decoupled from 0th order reflection of grating via 2 mirrors onto fine guidance detector

  9. Spectrometer Arrangement LSS Spectrometer UV Spectrometer VUV Spectrometer

  10. Spectrometers with Housing Stand alone structure Independent assembly and alignment Attachment of common structure at optical bench (S/C)

  11. Trade OffActive Aluminum Structure vs. Thermostable Structure • Phase A Baseline • Thermally unstable Aluminum structure • 2 critical Focus Mechanisms ( Collimator Mirror , Echelle Grating) • Compensation of thermal gradients, temperature change, (drift) • Multi axes adjustment with very high accuracies required • Critical In Orbit Operation to find best focus position

  12. Trade Off: Thermomechanical Performance Maturity Costs Candidate Materials Aluminum Composite materials Ceramics • Thermostable CeSiC Structure • Required Spectral Resolution without Active Control of Optical Elements • Complex Collimator and Echelle Grating Mechanisms Skipped !!

  13. Spectrometers without Housing
