Telescopio Nazionale Galileo

The Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG, or in English, Galileo National Telescope) is a 3.58 meter reflector telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) on the Canary Islands by the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF). It saw first light in 1998. Instruments:

• HARPS-N (High Accuracy radial velocity Planet Searcher).
• DOLoRes (Device Optimized for Low Resolution).
• NICS (Near Infrared Camera and Spectrometer).
• GIANO-B - near infrared high resolution spectrograph: replaced GIANO.
• SiFAP2 - fast optical photometer.

GIARPS is a configuration using GIANO-B and HARPS-N simultaneously to produce high spectral-resolution data over a wide wavelength-range. Previous instruments:

• OIG (Optical Imager Galileo).
• Speckle Camera.
• ADOPT (adaptive optics).
• SARG - (Spettrografo ad Alta Risoluzione per Galileo) - high resolution spectrograph.
• GIANO - high resolution spectrograph.
