Description
The first generation of E-ELT instruments will include an optic-infrared
High Resolution Spectrograph, conventionally indicated as EELT-HIRES,
which will be capable of providing unique breakthroughs in the fields of
exoplanets, star and planet formation, physics and evolution of stars
and galaxies, cosmology and fundamental physics. A 2-year long phase A
study for EELT-HIRES has just started and will be performed by a
consortium composed of institutes and organisations from Brazil, Chile,
Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom. In this paper we describe the science
goals and the preliminary technical concept for EELT-HIRES which will be
developed during the phase A, as well as its planned development and
consortium organisation during the study.
