Many scientific programs, most of them linked to stellar physics (such as asteroseismology, stellar rotational modulation, surface structures, Doppler imaging, Zeeman-Doppler imaging, variable stellar winds) require a continuous spectroscopic coverage during several days.

MUSICOS (for MUlti-SIte COntinuous Spectroscopy) is an international project for setting up a network of high resolution spectrometers coupled to telescopes of the 2m class, well distributed around the world, and partly dedicated to continuous spectroscopy.

The strategy to reach this objective was defined during two workshops organized at Paris-Meudon Observatory in 1988 and 1990, and consists of three steps: 1) organize multi-site spectroscopie campaigns using resident instruments on various telescopes around the world and transportable fiber-fed spectrographs where adequate spectroscopie equipment is not available; 2) design and develop a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph, well suited for the scientific programs that require multi-site observations; 3) propose this MUSICOS spectrograph for duplication at several collaborating sites.
