Development of Mid Infrared Test Observation System MIRTOS

Daigo Tomono and Tetsuo Nishimura

We are constructing an infrared imager MIRTOS to evaluate and monitor the Japanese National Large Telescope 'Subaru.' The system consists of near- infrared and mid-infrared cameras. It captures seeing freezed images simultaneously in two bands and reconstruct diffraction-limited mid-infrared image. The system also has an emissivity mapper that images the telescope pupil and its surroundings. We are now in the first phase. The system, currently called pre-MIRTOS, has near-infrared two-wavelength imager and the emissivity mapper.
