This next-generation spectrograph is an upgraded version of the high-demand visiting instrument IGRINS on Gemini South that will expand our understanding of cosmic objects shrouded by dust and gas. In this podcast, Dr. Hwihyun Kim talks about the development process and exciting science that IGRINS-2 will enable. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Hwihyun Kim is an Instrumentation Program Scientist at Gemini Observatory.
