Descripción
FRIDA has been conceived as the first science instrument for the
adaptive optics system of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). It is
designed to be installed at the Nasmyth A platform, behind the GTC
adaptive optics system. FRIDA will be a diffraction limited, near
infrared imager and integral field spectrograph sensitive from 0.9 to
2.5 μm. It may also include provisions for future upgrades such as
coronographic masks and long slits. FRIDA is a collaborative project
between the Instituto de Astronomía, UNAM, México, the
Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Spain, and the Astronomy
Department of the University of Florida, USA.
