Abstract

MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) is a second generation VLT panoramic integral field spectrograph developed for the European Southern Observatory (ESO), operating in the visible wavelength range (0.465-0.93 μm). The MUSE instrument is currently under integration and the commissioning is expected to start at the beginning of year 2013. The scientific and technical capabilities of MUSE are described in a series of 19 companion papers. The Fore-Optics (FO), situated at the entrance of MUSE, is used to de-rotate and provide an anamorphic magnification (x 5 / x 2.5) of the 1 arc minute square field of view from the F/15.2 VLT Nasmyth focal plane (Wide Field Mode, WFM). Additional optical elements can be inserted in the optical beam to further increase the magnification by a factor 8 (Narrow Field Mode, NFM). An atmospheric dispersion corrector is also added in the NFM. Two image stabilization units have been developed to ensure a stabilization of the field of view (1/20 of a resolved element) for each observation mode. Environmental values such as temperature and hygrometry are monitored to inform about the observation conditions. All motorized functions and sensors are remote-controlled from the VLT Software via the CAN bus with CANOpen protocol. In this paper, we describe the FO optical, mechanical and control/command electronic concept, development and performance.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
