Description
The Mid-resolution InfRAreD Astronomical Spectrograph (MIRADAS, a
near-infrared multi-object echelle spectrograph operating at spectral
resolution R=20,000 over the 1-2.5μm bandpass) was selected by the
Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) partnership as the next-generation
near-infrared spectrograph for the world's largest optical/infrared
telescope, and is being developed by an international consortium. The
MIRADAS consortium includes the University of Florida, Universidad de
Barcelona, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de
Astrofísica de Canarias, and Institut d'Estudis Espacials de
Catalunya, as well as probe arm industrial partner A-V-S (Spain), with
more than 45 Science Working Group members in 10 institutions primarily
in Spain, Mexico, and the USA. In this paper, we review the overall
system design and project status for MIRADAS during its early
fabrication phase in 2016.
