IGRINS Achieves First Light at Gemini South
IGRINS , the visiting high-resolution near-infrared spectrometer — a collaboration of the University of Texas Austin ( UT Austin ) and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute ( KASI ) — achieved first light on the night of April 2nd at Gemini South , with a remarkable spectrum of the T-Tauri star TW Hydrae ( Figure 1 ).
