What is D-Shooter NINJA?†
NINJA (formerly called D-Shooter) : "Near-INfrared and optical Joint spectrograph with Adaptive optics" is an Optical-to-NIR spectrograph optimized for the LTAO system at the Subaru telescope, realized by the Adaptive Secondary Mirror
It consists of at least two spectrograph units, one is in the optical(0.4-0.9um) and the other in the NIR(0.9-2.5micron).
