Description
The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to perform simultaneous multi-wavelength observations. One of the elements we need to modify to optimise the performance of the instrument on all the new spectral channels is the Polarisation Module Unit (PMU). In this contribution, we want to present our theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, and first-light results related to the new version of the PMU. This new version and many of the improved capabilities of the instrument will be offered to the community gradually during 2024.

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
