“…Examples of simulations regarding both science observations and calibration frames have been presented. A specific set of calibration and observation synthetic raw frames will be generated and used both to aid (mainly in the UV-VIS arm) and cross-check (in the NIR arm) the DRS, which is currently under parallel development using real X-Shooter NIR arm frames (see for details 15 ). The cross-check in the NIR arm will be fundamental to debug the simulator (if this will be required) and to validate a full end-to-end simulation, in which the ultimate goal is the production of synthetic 1D reduced spectra.…”

We present the development of the End-to-End simulator for the SOXS instrument at the ESO-NTT 3.5-m telescope. SOXS will be a spectroscopic facility, made by two arms high efficiency spectrographs, able to cover the spectral range 350-2000 nm with resolving power R≈4500. The E2E model allows to simulate the propagation of photons starting from the scientific target of interest up to the detectors. The outputs of the simulator are synthetic frames, which will be mainly exploited for optimizing the pipeline development and possibly assisting for proper alignment and integration phases in laboratory and at the telescope. In this paper, we will detail the architecture of the simulator and the computational model, which are strongly characterized by modularity and flexibility. Synthetic spectral formats, related to different seeing and observing conditions, and calibration frames to be ingested by the pipeline are also presented.

SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is a single object spectrograph, characterized by offering a wide simultaneous spectral coverage from U-to H-band, built by an international consortium for the 3.6-m ESO New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory, in the Southern part of the Chilean Atacama Desert. The consortium is focussed on a clear scientific goal: the spectrograph will observe all kind of transient and variable sources discovered by different surveys with a highly flexible schedule, updated daily, based on the Target of Opportunity concept. It will provide a key spectroscopic partner to any kind of imaging survey, becoming one of the premier transient follow-up instruments in the Southern hemisphere. SOXS will study a mixture of transients encompassing all distance scales and branches of astronomy, including fast alerts (such as gamma-ray bursts and gravitational waves), mid-term alerts (such as supernovae and X-ray transients), and fixed-time events (such as the close-by

“…SOXS is comprised of a common path, which splits the incoming light to a UV-VIS arm (0.35 − 0.85 µm) and a NIR arm (0.8 − 2.0 µm), an acquisition camera, and a calibration unit-all of which are described in other papers in these proceedings. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The visual arm has a novel design, which was described in our previous paper. 16 The beam is divided into four bands and imaged by a single camera.…”

We present our progress on the UV-VIS arm of Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS), a new spectrograph for the NTT. Our design splits the spectral band into four sub-bands that are imaged onto a single detector. Each band uses an optimized high efficiency grating that operates in 1st order (m=1). In our previous paper we presented the concept and preliminary design. SOXS passed a Final Design Review in July 2018 and is well into the construction *
