Quality Control and
Data Processing

The upgraded CRIRES is a cryogenic high-resolution cross-dispersed infrared echelle spectrograph, developed by ESO. It is located at the Nasmyth B focus of UT3. Compared to its original version, the simultaneously covered wavelength range increased by a factor of ten and new detector focal plane array of three Hawaii 2RG detectors with a 5.3 micrometer cut-off wavelength replaced the old chips.

Before the upgrade, the original CRIRES was in operation from P79 through P93. An overview for the original (pre-upgrade, pre-August 2014) CRIRES can be found here
