Abstract

FRIDA (inFRared Imager and Dissector for the Adaptive optics system of GTC) is a second generation instrument designed to operate at the diffraction limit in combination with the adaptive optics system of GTC in the near infrared domain. Direct imaging and integral field spectroscopy at different spatial and spectral resolutions are the main observing modes. In this presentation we describe the current status of the instrument.
