Paper Abstract
The Adaptively Corrected Echelle Spectrograph (ACES) high resolution echelle spectrograph was
originally developed at Steward Observatory to couple adaptively-corrected stellar images to the instrument
using a near single mode optical fiber to give R~190,000 at V band. We explore here the feasibility of
using the spectrograph with the 2x8.4m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), preserving the fiber coupling
for instrument isolation and illumination stability, but employing either a narrow slit or image slicer to
offset the smaller component size and thereby preserve high resolution. Such a combination could offer
simultaneously higher resolution with greater wavelength coverage per exposure than the configuration of
alternate instruments.
