The 1st miniTAO/ANIR Science Workshop on 9 April, 2010

The near-infrared camera, ANIR, mounted on the University of Tokyo miniTAO 1-m telescope has begun scientific observations last year, becoming successful in detecting the Hydrogen Emission Line from the Galactic Center in the Infrared Light. We have held the 1st science workshop on 9 April in order to keep carrying out observations in various astronomical fields, where we have reported/discussed the progress of the data analysis and astronomical targets to be observed in the future.
