SOXS will be built and run by an international consortium, carrying out rapid and longer term Target of Opportunity requests on a variety of astronomical objects. SOXS will observe all kind of transient and variable sources from different surveys. These will be a mixture of fast alerts (e.g. gamma-ray bursts, gravitational waves, neutrino events), mid-term alerts (e.g. supernovae, X-ray transients), fixed time events (e.g. close-by passage of minor bodies). While the focus is on transients and variables, still there is a wide range of other astrophysical targets and science topics that will benefit from SOXS. The design foresees a spectrograph with a Resolution-Slit product ≍ 4500, capable of simultaneously observing over the entire band the complete spectral range from the U- to the H-band. The limiting magnitude of R 20 (1 hr at S/N 10) is suited to study transients identified from on-going imaging surveys. Light imaging capabilities in the optical band (grizy) are also envisaged to allow for multi-band photometry of the faintest transients. This paper outlines the status of the project, now in Final Design Phase.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1117/12.23073492-s2.0-85052658578000452664300008https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10702/2307349/SOXS--a-wide-band-spectrograph-to-follow-up-transients/10.1117/12.2307349.short?SSO=12018SPIE10702E..0FSFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
