Description
The triplet of the He I transitions around 10830 Å not only shows a rich variety of Stokes profiles, but also allows the full magnetic vector in the upper chromosphere to be probed, thus revealing the magnetic structure of loops, current sheets, finely structured supersonic downflows, the chromospheric layers of sunspots (supporting the presence of uncombed fields in the penumbra), flares, and the quiet Sun. A very brief overview of some of the observations and results obtained so far is given.

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS
