Timmi2, Thermal Infrared Multimode Instrument

Scientific paper

In October 2002, after only 12 weeks of forced retirement, TIMMI2 (Thermal Infrared Multimode Instrument) underwent a major upgrade and was successfully remounted at the Cassegrain focus of the 3.6-m telescope at La Silla. TIMMI2 had a difficult start to 2000, when the tragic and untimely death of PI Hans-Georg Reimann overshadowed the success of the project. The instrument was first commissioned in late 2000, with TNT control software and the Wallace acquisition system. However, after almost two years of continuous operation, it became apparent that an upgrade of the control and acquisition system could improve the reliability of the instrument and reduce the operational load for the staff.
