TL;DR: MOONS as mentioned in this paper is a new multi-object optical and near-infrared spectrograph selected by ESO as a third generation instrument for the VLT, which can provide the European astronomical community with a powerful, unique instrument able to pioneer a wide range of Galactic, Extragalactic and Cosmological studies and provide crucial follow-up for major facilities such as Gaia, VISTA, Euclid and LSST.

TL;DR: The K-band Multi Object Spectrograph (KMOS) is a multi-object near-infrared integral field spectrometer with 24 deployable cryogenic pick-off arms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe all the steps involved in producing science-quality data products from the raw observations, focusing on the following issues: (i) the calibration scheme which produces maps of the spatial and spectral locations of all illuminated pixels on the detectors; (ii) the concept of minimising the number of interpolations, to the limiting case of a single reconstruction that simultaneously uses raw data from multiple exposures; (iii) a comparison of the various interpolation methods implemented, and an assessment of the performance of true 3D interpolation schemes; (iv) the way

TL;DR: The Messenger 151 co-rotating structure was too large to fit into any available air-freight carrier and was therefore securely packed and made the slightly more perilous, but more leisurely, journey on the open deck of a container ship.
