This talk will present an overview of NIR astronomical cameras developed by the IR group which have been commissioned / used at various observatories in India (e.g. IGO, IUCAA,Pune; MIRO, PRL, Mt Abu; HCT, IIA, Hanle, Ladakh and DOT, ARIES, Devasthal, Uttarakhand). TANSPEC Optical-NIR spectrograph is installed (Apr 2019) and commissioned at DOT 3.6 meter telescope. TIRSPEC NIR imager and spectrometer was commissioned at 2 meter HCT, Hanle in 2014 and is currently being used for science observations. TIRCAM2 NIR imager has been used at MIRO, IGO and is currently installed at the side port of DOT 3.6 meter telescope. Talk will also cover a brief overview of the IRSIS satellite payload related work. |
