| contents | SPM-Twin Telescopes: Project Overview J. Jesús González Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas TELESCOPES The SPM-Twin Project is an international initiative for a pair of 6.5-m telescopes, at the San Pedro MártirObservatory (SPM), to provide a limber, and highly competitive, platform for discovery by focusing on scientificniches technically difficult for existing or planned larger aperture telescopes, and by exploiting the superiorityof the SPM site. The telescopes are based on the proven and highly efficient Magellan concept, but each witha distinct optimization to cover two complementary but mutually exclusive aspects: (a) the Standard FieldTelescope would have a field of view of 15 − 30, capable of observing in the optical through the thermalinfrared (0.4 − 24 µm) and prepared for adaptive optics, and (b) the Wide Field Telescope (WFT) with afield of view of 1.5◦ or more, capable of multi-object fiber spectroscopy, integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy,and potentially narrow-band imaging as well. The WFT spectroscopy would extend from 0.36 to 1.8 µm, andwould contain several thousand fibers.
