Scientific paper

The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is a first-light instrument being designed for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS is a combination of an imager that will sample a 17" field of view at the diffraction limit of TMT (4 mas), and an integral field unit spectrograph that will sample objects at 4-50 mas scales. IRIS will allow major progress in many new fields of science, including very well-resolved and sensitive kinematics and internal chemical abundances of high-redshift galaxies, imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets, resolved stellar populations of nearby galaxies, the stellar initial mass function in many environments and in galaxies outside of the the Milky Way, the masses of black holes in low-mass galaxies, and the characterization of some of the first galaxies to form in the universe.
