Abstract

SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) will be a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO-NTT 3.5-m telescope in La Silla (Chile), able to cover the optical/ NIR band (350-1750 nm). The design foresees a high-efficiency spectrograph with a resolutionslit product of similar to 4,500, capable of simultaneously observing the complete spectral range 350 -1750 nm with a good sensitivity, with light imaging capabilities in the visible band. This paper outlines the status of the project.
