Título               : SPIRAL: An integral field spectrograph for the Anglo-Australian Telescope  
Conferencista: David Lee - Anglo-Australian Observatory  
Data                  : Terça-feira, 03/04/01, 11H00M, EXTRA  
Local                 : Auditório L.B.F. Clauzet - Água Funda  
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.
