摘要
SOXS（Son Of X-Shooter）将是ESO NTT望远镜上的一台光谱仪，能够覆盖光学与近红外波段，基于ESO-VLT上X-Shooter的遗产。SOXS将由一国际联盟建造并运行，对各种天体执行快速与较长期的机遇观测（ToO）请求。SOXS将观测来自不同巡天的各类暂现源与变源。这些将混合快速警报（如伽马射线暴、引力波、中微子事件）、中期警报（如超新星、X射线暂现源）、固定时间事件（如小天体近距飞掠）。虽然重点在暂现源与变源，仍有广泛的其他天体物理目标与科学课题将受益于SOXS。设计预期一台分辨率-狭缝积约4500的光谱仪，能够在整个波段同时观测从U波段到H波段的完整光谱范围。极限星等R~20（1小时，S/N~10）适于研究来自在运行成像巡天所发现的暂现源。亦设想具备光学波段（grizy）轻成像能力，以允许对最暗暂现源进行多波段测光。本文概述了项目现状，目前处于最终设计阶段。
