A workshop on the TAO near-infrared instrument on September 11, 2009.
On September 11, 2009, we have held a workshop on the near-infrared instrument (tentatively named TAO-NIRCAM) to be mounted on the TAO 6.5-m telescope.
There were many requests/requirements for specification of the instrument proposed and discussed.
We will consider and reflect the attendees' opinions on the instrument design, and aim to build a instrument used by various astronomers.
