Abstract

FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is undergoing systems integration and is scheduled to complete system testing at the laboratory in December 2024 and to be delivered to the telescope shortly thereafter. In this contribution we present a summary of its design, fabrication, current status and potential scientific applications.
