Spartan Infrared Camera High Resolution Imaging for the SOAR Telescope The Spartan Infrared Camera is a $2M instrument for the SOAR 4.2-m telescope on Cerro Pachon, Chile. Its spectral range is 1-2.5μ. It has two plate scales, 0.041 arcsec/pixel for diffraction-limited sampling in the H and K bands, and 0.068 arcsec/pixel to cover a 5.0×5.0 arcmin field. The Physics-Astronomy Department at Michigan State University designed and built the instrument. On-sky engineering tests are in progress. Michigan State University, the SOAR Telescope, the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development of Brazil (CNPq), State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), and the National Science Foundation are funding this camera.
