SUMMARY:MAAT@GTC: A new Integral-Field Spectroscopy mode for OSIRIS on the 
  10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS
DESCRIPTION:MAAT@GTC: A new Integral-Field Spectroscopy mode for OSIRIS on 
 the  10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS\nProf. Francisco Prada\n\nMAAT is a v
 isitor mirror-slicer optical module that will allow the OSIRIS spectr
 ograph on the 10.4-m Gran telescopio CANARIAS  (GTC) the capabil
 ity to perform Integral-Field Spectroscopy (IFS)  over a seeing-
 limited FoV 14.20" × 10"  with a slice width of  0.30
 3".  MAAT@GTC will enhance the resolution power of OSIRIS b
 y 1.6  times as compared to its 0.6  wide long-slit. All th
 e eleven OSIRIS  grisms and volume-phase holographic gratings wi
 ll be available to  provide broad spectral coverage with moderat
 e resolution (R=600 up  to 4100) in the 3600 − 10000 AA wa
 velength range. MAAT unique  observing capabilities will broaden
  its use to the needs of the  community to unveil the nature of 
 most striking phenomena in the  universe well beyond time-domain
  astronomy. The GTC equipped with  OSIRIS+MAAT will also play a 
 fundamental role in synergy with other  facilities, some of them
  operating on the northern ORM at La Palma.  I will present diff
 erent aspects of MAAT@GTC - including scientific  and 
 technical specifications, outstanding science cases, and an  out
 line of the instrument concept.
