How does CanariCam + GTC compare with ISO?
- Spatial resolution:
- 10.4-m against 0.60-m
- A factor of 17 better
- Sensitivity:
- At least as good, probably rather better
- Spectral resolution:
- ISO R=1000, CanariCam R=1500
- Polarimetry and coronagraphy - "not" on ISO (polarimetry was included, but the AOTs were released too late for much data to be taken)
- CanariCam is a big advance on ISO.
