Scientific paper

High-resolution (HR) near-IR spectroscopy is opening new windows in our understanding of several hot topics of modern planet, stellar and extragalactic astrophysics, and it will have a huge impact in the JWST and ALMA era and beyond. The much reduced extinction at these wavelengths allows to pierce the dust embedding those objects which are heavily obscured in the optical. Moreover, at high redshifts several spectral features, commonly exploited when studying local galaxies, are shifted into the near-IR. However, despite its scientific potential, the field of HR IR spectroscopy and its related science is developing very slowly, because of the lack of optimized instruments with the necessary combination of spectral resolution and coverage.
