Sumário
:
In this talk I will describe the integral field spectrograph SPIRAL
which is in use on the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. This instrument
is very similar to the IFU being commissioned on the 1.6 m telescope in
Brazil. Initially I will describe the optical design and summarise the
performance characteristics of the instrument. I will also present
examples of data taken with the instrument and describe different
techniques for sky subtraction including "Nod & Shuffle" observing mode.
Finally I will present examples of recent scientific observations.
