Abstract: Astronomical Adaptive Optics Systems and Applications II; Robert K. Tyson, Michael Lloyd-Hart; Eds.; FALCON is an original concept for a next generation instrument which could be used on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) and on the future Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT). It is a multi-objects integral field spectrograph with multiple small integral field units (IFUs). Each of them integrates a tiny adaptive optics system coupled with atmospheric tomography to solve the sky coverage problem. This therefore allows to reach spatial (0.15 - 0.25 ...
