IF-MOS trade-off study
A study being carried out under the auspices of the ESA NGST Study Science Team
This is a working page for the SST subgroup charged with the task of assessing the trade-off between the Integral Field and Multi-Object options for the NGST 1-5 micron spectrograph.
Group membership
The study is divided into the following sections:
A parallel study is being carried out in the US under the chairmanship of John Huchra. A summary and an overview are available from STScI (email Knox Long).
