Description
LIRIS is a near-IR intermediate resolution spectrograph with added
capabilities for multi-object, imaging, coronography, and polarimetry.
This instrument is now being constructed at the IAC, and upon complexion
will be installed on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope at the
Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos. The optical system uses lenses
and is based on a classical collimator/camera design. Grisms are used as
the dispersion elements. The plate scale matches the median seeing at
the ORM. The detector is a Hawaii 1024 X 1024 HgCdTe array operating at
60K.
