Descripción
For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that provide information on the atmospheric parameters over a vast range of atmospheric layers and with high sensitivity to the magnetic field. Due to the high demand for GRIS and the versatility of the Gregor environment, we decided to upgrade the system once more, allowing it to become one of the instruments with the highest potential in any ground-based solar observatory. This time, the upgrades add two spectral channels for performing multi-wavelength observations in long-slit or IFU mode.
