Extract

Historically, infrared instrumentation for astronomical research has been developed by individual groups largely for their own enjoyment. The commissioning of the AAO’s infrared photometer-spectrometer (IRPS) in late 1978 provided for the first time in Australia a common-user instrument. Since then it has attracted considerable interest and is now the second most popular instrument in use at the AAT.
