HERMES
(for High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph )
is a 4-channel visible light and infrared
spectrograph unveiled in 2014 on the 3.9-meter Anglo-Australian Telescope .
It can operate as a multi-object spectrograph with
the telescope 's robotic fiber positioner (2dF ).
It is used for astronomical surveys such as GALAH .
Its four bands :
Blue 471.5-490.0 nm
Green 564.9-587.3 nm
Red 6487.8673.7 nm
IR 758.5-788.7 nm
The name HERMES (for High-efficiency and High-resolution Mercator Echelle Spectrograph )
is also used for an unrelated spectrograph
on the 1.2-meter Mercator Telescope ,
which covers a similar range: 380-875 nm.
