We present the mechanical design and analysis of CUBES (Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph), a near- UV spectrograph for the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). First, we describe the challenges and key concepts of the mechanical design. Then we report on the finite element analysis (FEA) covering modal and seismic a...

In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) has been designed to provide high instrumental efficiency (> 37%) for observations in the near UV...

Astrocook v2 represents a major architectural redesign of the well-known quasar analysis tool. It is built on an immutable data core, a decoupled API, and a new PySide6 GUI. This system guarantees stability, high performance, and readiness for external integration. We highlight the successful implementation of a robust...
