摘要：

The Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) will be a Day-One instrument of the Spanish 10.4 m telescope Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), whose First Light is planned for 2002. GTC will be installed at the Observatorio del Rogue de los Muchachos in La Palma, Spain. OSIRIS three primary modes are imaging and low resolution long slit and multiple object spectroscopy. The instrument is designed to operate from 365 to 1000 nm with a field of view of 7x7 arcminutes and a maximum spectral resolution of 5000. Among the OSIRIS main features are the use of tunable filters (TF) for direct imaging, the use of Volume Phase Holographic Gratings (VPH) as dispersive elements for spectroscopy, and the implementation of an articulated camera to provide maximum spectroscopic efficiency and versatility. Here we present a general description and an overview of the main instrument characteristics.
