MIMIZUKU is currently in the evaluation phase. You can propose observations, but please note that the observations are conducted under a risk-sharing agreement.
The Mid-Infrared Multi-field Imager for gaZing at the UnKnown Universe (MIMIZUKU) is the first-generation (mid-)infrared instrument that enables imaging and low-resolution spectroscopic observations in a wavelength range of 1-38 microns. The wide wavelength range is achieved by having three optical channels called NIR, MIR-S, and MIR-L, covering wavelength ranges of 1-5.3, 7-26, and 24-38 microns, respectively.
　MIMIZUKU has a unique optomechanical system called Field Stacker that enables simultaneous observations of target and reference objects separated by less than 25 arcmin. This capability improves the accuracy and reliability of photometric and spectroscopic data.
The NIR channel has a HAWAII-1RG (HgCdTe 1k-format) array with a cut-off wavelength of 5.3 microns and covers 1-5.3 microns.
The MIR-S channel has an Aquarius array (Si:As 1k-format) array and covers 7-26 microns.
The MIR-L channel has a 128px-format Si:Sb array and covers 24-38 microns.
