Conclusions

We have successfully developed and commissioned the University of New South Wales Infrared Fabry-Perot (UNSWIRF) on IRIS at the AAT. Among the notable characteristics of this system, which is based on a Queensgate ET-70WF etalon, are its high Resolving Power (tex2html_wrap_inline1393), wide field (up to 100''), and ability to be tuned across almost the entire H and K bands. A novel method of in-situ wavelength calibration has been applied, and a new suite of reduction and analysis software in the IRAF environment has been developed. Early results across a wide variety of sources have been presented, and a number of diverse projects are now underway. Further details are available from the UNSWIRF WWW page.
