7. Instrument requirements<br />
Title: Science Case<br />
Reference: MUSE-MEM-SCI-052<br />
Issue: 1.3<br />
Date: 04/02/2004<br />
Page: 95/100<br />
Instrument requirements are summarized in Table 1. For each science subject we have<br />
identified the following requirements:<br />
• Field of view (FOV) importance (compared to a FOV reduced by a factor 2), quoted<br />
from 1(less important) to 3 (critical)<br />
• AO need, quoted from 0 to 3, with the following meaning:<br />
o 0 : no AO needed<br />
o 1 : AO is preferred but not absolutely requested<br />
o 2 : AO is mandatory to achieve full science but non-AO observations allow<br />
partial fulfilment of the science goals<br />
o 3 : AO is critical to science goals<br />
• Wavelength bandpass. Importance of the bandpass 8 is quoted from 1 (less important)<br />
to 3 (very important). Bandpass are defined according to MUSE spectral range: 0.465-<br />
0.6 µm (B-V), 0.6-0.8 µm (V-I), 0.8-0.96 µm (I-z)<br />
• Importance of R=3000 spectral resolution (compared to R=1500), quoted from 1 (not<br />
important) to 3 (critical)<br />

8 A bandpass is defined as less important if a decrease of 50% in throughput and/or image quality does not affect<br />
science feasibility.<br />
9 SF, MDF, DF and UDF refer to shallow, medium deep, deep and ultra-deep fields. SBH is the supermassive<br />
black hole study, Kin & Stel. Gal. the kinematics and stellar populations in nearby galaxies, Inter. Gal. the<br />
interacting galaxies and Star. Form. the star <strong>for</strong>mation. YSO is the early stage of stellar evolution, LMC the<br />
Large Magellanic Cloud, Mass. Stars/XPN the extragalactic massive stars and planetary nebulae. Planets Atm.<br />
are the planetary atmosp<strong>here</strong> and Aster. the asteroids.
