MIMIZUKU is currently in the evaluation phase. You may propose an observation, but please note that the observation will be conducted as a shared-risk policy.
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 coverage is achieved by having three optical channels, NIR, MIR-S, and MIR-L, covering 1-5.3, 7-26, and 24-38 microns, respectively. MIMIZUKU has a unique opto-mechanical system called a "field stacker" that enables simultaneous observations of target and reference objects within a distance of less than 25 arcmin. This feature 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.
