Popis: OSIRIS is the optical Day 1 instrument for the 10.4 m GTC telescope. OSIRIS will cover the 365 to 1000 nm spectral range, featuring an 8.6×8.6 arcmin field of view, and capabilities for direct imaging, both long-slit and multiple object spectroscopy, and fast spectrophotometry. The combination of OSIRIS wide field, tunable filters plus charge shuffling array detectors, will constitute the most powerful instrument for studying faint emission-line sources at any redshift. The present contribution gives an overview of the instrument development, currently in its verification phase before commissioning on site. © 2007 Springer.
