Paper Abstract
CanariCam is the facility multi-mode mid-IR camera developed by the University of Florida for the 10-meter Gran
Telescopio Canarias (GTC) on La Palma. CanariCam has four science modes that provide the GTC community with an
especially powerful research tool for imaging, grating spectroscopy, coronagraphy, and dual-beam polarimetry.
Instrument commissioning in the laboratory at the University of Florida indicates that all modes perform as required, and
the next step is on-telescope commissioning. After commenting on the instrument status, we will review key features of
each of these science modes, with emphasis on illustrating each mode with science examples that put the system
performance, particularly the anticipated sensitivity, into perspective.
