Descripción
FRIDA (inFRared Imager and Dissector for the Adaptive optics system of
the Gran Telescopio Canarias) has been designed as a diffraction limited
instrument that will offer broad and narrow band imaging and integral
field spectroscopy (IFS) capabilities with low, intermediate and high
spectral resolutions to operate in the wavelength range 0.9 - 2.5 μm.
The integral field unit is based on a monolithic image slicer and the
imaging and IFS observing modes will use the same Rockwell 2Kx2K
detector. FRIDA will be based at a Nasmyth focus of GTC, behind the AO
system. The main design characteristics of FRIDA are described in this
contribution. FRIDA is a collaborative project between the main GTC
partners, namely, Spain, Mexico and Florida, lead by UNAM.
