The IAA is an institute of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Granada - Andalucía. The activities of the IAA (CSIC) are related to research in the field of Astrophysics and the development of instruments for telescopes and space vehicles. The IAA has made it a general scientific objective to help increase the bulk of knowledge about our universe, from the closest at hand, our solar system, to an overall scale of the entire universe, improving descriptions and analysing the physical processes that take place there. The nature of this aim demands a multi-disciplinary approach, requiring a combination of theory, observation and technology in different areas of physics and engineering. Although the IAA is a centre for pursuing basic science, we are aware of the role that astrophysics plays as a user and producer of new technologies.
MOIRCS (Multi-Object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph) provides wide-field imaging and long-slit / multi-object (MOS) spectroscopic capabilities in the 0.9 ~ 2.5 µm spectral range under the natural seeing condition. The 4'?~7' field of view is covered by two Hawaii-2 2048?~2048 arrays with the spatial resolution of 0.117 arcsec/pixel.
The Subaru Prime Focus Camera (Suprime-Cam) is a mosaic of ten 2048 x 4096 CCDs, located at the prime focus of Subaru Telescope, which covers a 34' x 27' field of view with a pixel scale of 0.20''. This service provides access to the JVO Subaru Suprime-Cam mosaic image archive. The purpose of this archive is to provide quick look images taken by Subaru/Suprime-Cam. Those images were processed by a pipeline developed by JVO.
