Abstract
The design and scientific objectives of a near infrared channeled
spectrometer planned at the IOTA interferometer are discussed. The
spectrometer has the flexibility to reconfigure easily for conventional
broadband operations in addition to multi-channel mode. This instrument
makes use of the existing PICNIC camera at the IOTA in order to be cost
efficient. The spectrometer has been designed specifically for studying
Mira stars. However, it will find its application in other areas of
astrophysical interests such as studies of circumstellar disks around
young stars and binary stars.
