ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: project overview, future developments and science goals

Alessandro Marconi

ALL members of ANDES Consortium

LONG ABSTRACT (300-words max):
ANDES, the ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph, will be the high-resolution spectrograph of the European Extremely Large Telescope at optical and near-infrared wavelengths and is being developed thanks to the efforts of a a large, internation consortium composed of more than 220 scientists and engineers from 33 institutes in 13 countries.
ANDES will consist of three fibre-fed spectrographs providing a spectral resolution of 100,000 with a simultaneous wavelength coverage of 0.4-1.8 µm, with the goal of extending it to 0.35-2.4 µm with the addition of the U and K bands. It will be able to operate in seeing limited conditions but will also include a unique integral field unit in the 1.0-1.8 µm range which, coupled with a SCAO module, will provide diffraction-limited spatially-resolved observations.
ANDES has a wide range of science cases spanning nearly all areas of research in astrophysics and even fundamental physics. Some of the top science cases will be the detection of biosignatures from exoplanet atmospheres, finding the fingerprints of the first generation of stars (PopIII), tests on the stability of Nature's fundamental couplings, and the direct detection of the cosmic acceleration.
I will provide a general overview of the ANDES project, including its main science cases, its status following the successfull completion of the System Architecture Review and the forthcoming steps to construction.

LONG ABSTRACT (300-words max):
ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph) is a fibre-fed echelle spectrograph for the ELT with three spectral arms, spanning 0.4-1.8 μm (goal 0.35-2.4 μm) at ~100,000 resolution. It enables sensitive observations of astronomical objects, such as exoplanets, fundamental physics and other frontier science cases. We describe the instrument's design and architecture, emphasizing its unique features.
The design is driven by requirements on resolving power, slit area, spectral coverage and stability. The instrument can operate in seeing-limited or SCAO modes, with options for sky and/or calibration measurements. In SCAO mode, it can use a small IFU with different spaxel scales.
The light from the telescope reaches the Front-End on the Nasmyth platform, which has four insertable modules: two seeing-limited arms, one SCAO arm and one IFU arm. They are connected by fibres or fibre bundles to the Spectrographs in different locations: the Nasmyth Platform and the Coudé room. The wavelength splitting depends on the fibre transparency. The subsystems are placed at different distances from the telescope.
In Phase-B-one, we performed analyses to define the best trade-off for the budgets and architecture. We extended the spectrographs toward the goal ranges as much as possible. ANDES is complex, but its sophisticated and modular design will enable next-generation astronomy research.

ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: Model-Based Systems Engineering approach

LONG ABSTRACT (300-words max):
ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph) is one of the second-phase instruments planned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) of ESO. ANDES will provide high-resolution spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths, enabling a wide range of scientific investigations, such as characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, testing fundamental physics, and measuring the cosmic expansion. In this paper, we present the general strategy of the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach that we have used to design the instrument during the Phase B-One, which covers the system architecture review (SAR) successfully completed at end 2023. We describe how we have applied the Cameo Systems Modeler tool to create and manage the system model in compliance with the SysML standard to perform requirements and interfaces management, structure verification and validation, and trade-off analysis. We also emphasize that ANDES is used as a test case for the application of the MBSE methodology in the astronomical field, in order to create a standard of procedures to perform all the actions and tasks that serve to satisfy all the steps in the various design phases of an ESO project. In fact, the inital phases require specific tasks, such as the analysis of requirements, the flow-down of specifications to the subsystems, the tracing of interfaces, the analysis of budgets. Since there is no tool that specifically encompasses all these capabilities in the astronomical field, it is necessary to define a robust methodology that can be taken as an example for future astronomical instrumentation. We discuss the benefits and challenges of using MBSE for ANDES, as well as the lessons learned and best practices that can be useful for other astronomical instrument projects.

The instrumentation plan for the ELT foresees the ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES). The ANDES-project and consortium entered phase B in January 2022 and underwent several (internal and external) revisions by now to ensure that the requirements and eventually the challenging goals can be met by the physical design of the spectrograph.

Among its main scientific goals are the detection of atmospheres of exoplanets and the determination of fundamental physical constants. For this, high radial velocity precision and accuracy are required. Even though the ANDES-spectrograph is designed for maximum intrinsic stability, a calibration and thus a calibration unit is mandatory. To allow for maximum flexibility and modularity the calibration unit is physically split into three calibration units.

We show  the physical design of the calibration units and their individual components. This includes the electronics, the mechanics and the software supporting and controlling the light guiding and calibration sources.

The ESO/ELT ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph) project successfully completed the system architecture review and is currently finalizing its preliminary design phase. ANDES is the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT (ESO Extremely Large Telescope) capable of reaching a resolution of R ~ 100,000 simultaneously, in a wavelength range between 0.35 -2.4 µm (goals included), characterized by high-precision and extreme calibration accuracy suitable to address a variety of flagship scientific cases across a wide range of astronomical domains. To fulfill the required specifications the proposed design adopts a modular approach where the instrument is split in four individual spectrographs, each fiber-fed, and thermally and vacuum stabilized. A dedicated front-end which host a single conjugated adaptive optics module, collects either the light from the telescope or from a calibration unit feeding in turn the individual spectrographs. To master the described complexity the same modularity is reflected also at the project management level: each of the 9 subsystems (counting also the software as a standalone subsystem) is under direct responsibility of different teams coordinated by the ANDES project office. The high distribution and the large community involvement, consisting of 24 institutes from 13 countries, represent certainly a challenge from the project management point of view.

In this paper we present the project management approach we envisaged to master successfully all the ANDES project phases from the finalization of the preliminary design up to commissioning on-sky; in particular we will describe in detail the risk management and PA/QA activities we have foreseen to assure appropriate risk mitigation and an overall high quality standard required for the ANDES project.

ANDES is a high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, with the goal of providing simultaneous spectra with R~100000 from 0.35 to 2.4 micrometer. The baseline of the instrument covers 0.4 -1.8 micron. Here we present the study on the extension into the K-band (1.95 to 2.45 micron) with its scientific motivation and the technical solution. The spectrograph design is constrained by external limits, but a solution is found that enables key science cases in this wavelength range and closes the gap in ELT high resolution spectroscopy between the ANDES baseline and the METIS instrument. The spectrograph design is throughput-optimized and is fed by the diffraction-limited input from the ANDES SCAO system. We summarize the preliminary optical and cryo-mechanical design. But, as the available mass is one of the critical parameters, we also look into an alternative implementation of the spectrograph with carbon fiber vessels.
