The University of Tokyo), Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, We present a brief description of the activities of the infrared astronomy group of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research with special emphasis on the near-infrared instrumentation for star formation studies using 2-4 meter class Indian ground-based telescopes. We describe the unique capability of TIRCAM2, for observations in the PAH (lambda(sub cen) approximately 3.3 micrometers) and nbL (lambda(sub cen) approximately 3.59 micrometers) bands, currently being used by the astronomy community, and also the upcoming TANSPEC, which is being built for India's largest telescope, the 3.6-meter Devasthal Optical Telescope. The TIRCAM2 on the Devasthal Optical Telescope was successfully commissioned in June 2016, and the subsequent characterization and astronomical observations are presented here. Based on the successful engineering runs on the Devasthal Optical Telescope, TIRCAM2 has been made available to the Indian astronomical community for science observations since Early Science Cycle 2017A (May 2017) onwards. The fabrication of TANSPEC is in an advanced stage and the spectrometer is expected to be commissioned by the end of January 2018., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA1730026046, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-17-009E}, pages = {257--260}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構(JAXA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {Prospects of star formation studies with near-infrared instruments on 2-4 meter class Indian ground-based telescopes}, volume = {JAXA-SP-17-009E}, year = {2018} }
