Description

The successful automation of the ANU 2.3m telescope has unlocked the potential for extensive spectroscopic campaigns with the existing WiFeS integral field spectrograph. In this poster we describe a complementary near-infrared spectrograph concept to be located at the second Nasmyth focus. We present two conceptual designs for NIR spectrographs covering the J and H band, as well as highlight the importance of automated follow-up in the context of DREAMS, LSST, and other forthcoming surveys.
