Instrumentation
Australis 
A consortium of Australian institutions (AAO/ANU/UNSW) are designing a visible and near-infrared wide-field multi-object spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory.
UNSWIRF
The UNSW Infrared Fabry-Perot (UNSWIRF) is a narrow-band (R~4000) tunable filter for the infrared, designed to work in conjunction with IRIS at the f/36 focus of the Anglo-Australian Telescope . It is unique in being able to operate all the way from 1.5 to 2.4 µm. Current research programs with UNSWIRF range from the study of nearby star formation regions, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants to the nuclei and disks of nearby and active galaxies.

MANIAC
MANIAC (Mid- And Near-Infrared Array Camera) is an imaging camera for astronomical observations in the mid- and near-infrared wavelength ranges. It has been developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Garching/Germany, in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney/Australia, and the University in Jena/Germany.
