Abstract:
TIFR Near Infrared Imaging Camera-II (TIRCAM2) is being used at the 3.6-m Devasthal Optical
Telescope (DOT) operated by Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital,
Uttarakhand, India. Earlier, the TIRCAM2 was used at the main port of the DOT on time-shared basis. It has
now been installed at the side port of the telescope. Side port installation allows near simultaneous observations
with the main port instrument as well as longer operating periods. Thus, the TIRCAM2 serves the astronomical
community for a variety of observations ranging from lunar occultations, transient events and normal scheduled
observations.
