“…supernovae, electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events, neutrino events, tidal disruptions of stars in the gravitational field of supermassive black holes, gamma-ray bursts and fast radio bursts, X-ray binaries and novae, magnetars, but also asteroids and comets, activity in young stellar objects, and blazars and AGN. SOXS [2][3][4][5] will simultaneously cover the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.35 to 2.0 µm using two arms (UV-VIS and NIR) with a product slit-resolution of ∼ 4500. The throughput should enable to reach a S/N∼ 10 in a 1-hour exposure of an R=20 mag point source.…”

SOXS (SOn of X-Shooter) is a high-efficiency spectrograph with a mean Resolution-Slit product of ∼ 3500 over the entire band capable of simultaneously observing the complete spectral range 350-2000 nm. It consists of three scientific arms (the UV-VIS Spectrograph, the NIR Spectrograph and the Acquisition Camera) connected by the Common Path system to the NTT, and the Calibration Unit. We present an overview of the flow from the scientific to the technical requirements, and the realization of the sub-systems. Further, we give an overview of the methodologies used for planning and managing the assembly of the sub-systems, their integration and tests before the acceptance of the instrument in Europe (PAE) along with the plan for the integration of SOXS to the Further author information:

Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a double-armed (UV-VIS, NIR) spectrograph designed to be mounted at the ESO-NTT in La Silla, now in its Assembly Integration and Verification (AIV) phase. The instrument is designed following a modular approach so that each sub-system can be integrated in parallel before their assembly at system level. INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova will deliver the Common Path (CP) sub-system, which represents the backbone of the entire instrument. In this paper, we describe the foreseen operation for the CP alignment and we report some results already achieved, showing that we envisaged the suitable setup and the strategy to meet the opto-mechanical requirements.
