Cirpass, William Herschel Telescope, Multi-Object Near-Ir Spectroscopy

Scientific paper

Multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) has long been established in the optical, but is still in its infancy at infrared wavelengths. We are still a generation away from IR-MOS instruments on the 8-m class telescopes, but this technology has already been successfully demonstrated on the William Herschel Telescope with the visiting instrument, CIRPASS. This is the "Cambridge Infra-Red Panoramic Survey Spectrograph", built by the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge with the support of PPARC and the Sackler Foundation. CIRPASS works in the J- and H-bands, at wavelengths 1-1.8mm.
