ABSTRACT
The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). consists three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution $\sim$100,000 with minimum simultaneous wavelength coverage 0.4-1.8 $\mu$m the goal extending it to 0.35-2.4 addition U arm BV spectrograph separate K band spectrograph. It operates both in seeing- diffraction-limited conditions fibre feeding allows several, interchangeable observing modes including single conjugated adaptive optics module small integral field unit NIR. Modularity fibre-feeding allow be placed partly on Nasmyth platform Coud\'e room. has wide range groundbreaking science cases spanning nearly all areas research astrophysics even fundamental physics. Among top cases, there are detection biosignatures from exoplanet atmospheres, finding fingerprints stars, tests stability Nature's couplings, direct cosmic acceleration. project is carried forward by large international consortium, composed 35 Institutes 13 countries, forming team almost 300 scientists engineers which include majority scientific technical expertise that can found ESO member states.
