Descripción
LIRIS is an Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) project that consists in a near-infrared (0.9-2.4microns) intermediate resolution spectrograph, conceived as a common user instrument for the WHT. LIRIS will have imaging, long-slit and multi-object spectroscopy observing modes (~1000-3000 Å). Coronography, and polarimetry capabilities will eventually be added. Image capability will allow easy target acquisition for spectroscopy.
