TL;DR
This paper discusses the potential of the E-ELT's EAGLE spectrograph to revolutionize the study of resolved stellar populations beyond the Local Group through advanced near-infrared spectroscopy.
Contribution
It presents science simulations and design considerations for the EAGLE spectrograph, enabling AO-corrected spectroscopy over large fields with the E-ELT.
Findings
EAGLE will provide unprecedented AO-corrected spectroscopy of stellar populations.
The instrument will cover a large field of 38.5 sq. arcmin.
This capability will significantly enhance studies of the Local Volume.
Abstract
We give an overview of the science case for spectroscopy of resolved stellar populations beyond the Local Group with the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). In particular, we present science simulations undertaken as part of the EAGLE Phase A design study for a multi--integral-field-unit, near-infrared spectrograph. EAGLE will exploit the unprecedented primary aperture of the E-ELT to deliver AO-corrected spectroscopy across a large (38.5 sq. arcmin) field, truly revolutionising our view of stellar populations in the Local Volume.
