摘要
MEGARA is an optical integral-field unit and multi-object spectrograph for the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias. Both observational modes will provide identical spectral resolutions R-fwhm similar to 6,000, 12,000 and 18,700. The spectrograph is a collimator-camera system. The unique characteristics of MEGARA in terms of throughput and versatility make this instrument the most efficient tool to date to analyze astrophysical objects at intermediate spectral resolutions. The instrument is currently at the telescope for on-sky commissioning. Here we describe the as-built main characteristics the instrument.
