Description

Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a very wide-field, highly multiplexed optical-NIR spectrometer on the Subaru telescope being developed by the international collaboration led by Kavli IPMU. Since Sep 2021, engineering observations are being carried out several times and the Engineering First Light was accomplished in Sep 2022. In this presentation, I will give an overview of the achievements in the system integration and engineering observations and will summarize the future perspectives to the science operation.
