Abstract

OSIRIS, the optical Day One instrument for the GTC, will shortly be shipped to La Palma to start the commissioning at the telescope. Some results of the final laboratory characterization of the instrument are shown, together with the upgrades that are planned to be operational after Day One. Several large programs using the OSIRIS Tunable Filters are presented as well, to demonstrate the scientific capabilities of this characteristic OSIRIS observing mode.
