Scientific paper

The cryogenic infrared camera, IRCAM, has been operating routinely on the 3.8 m UK Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii for over two years. The camera, which uses a 62x58 element Indium Antimonide array from Santa Barbara Research Center, was designed and built at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh which operates UKIRT on behalf of the UK Science and Engineering Research Council. Over the past two years at least 60% of the available time on UKIRT has been allocated for IRCAM observations. Described here are some of the properties of this instrument and its detector which influence astronomical performance. Observational techniques and the power of IR arrays with some recent astronomical results are discussed.
