HRMOS will be proposed as a new instrument for the Very Large Telescope of ESO as part of the VLT2030 roadmap
It will combine very high-resolution (80k), >50 multiplex, and high RV precision

Congrats to the CUBES consortium!
It's a go for manufacturing CUBES, a future instrument for our VLT.
The VLT's ultraviolet eye, CUBES will search for water in the asteroid belt & explore the UV cosmic background, among other scientific goals.

Happy to announce that the line-detector.oca.eu website is now online!
It allows the user to select the stellar type, [M/H], λ- range, and resolving power and the page returns:
-purity of the line and minimum S/N required to detect it.
-interactive plot to identify the lines in the spectra
