Abstract

The first generation instruments of Subaru are seven plus one Cassegrain AO system. After the nearly ten year operation, the second generation instrument construction has been conducted. MOIRCS, 7' × 4' FOV NIR multi-object camera and spectrograph has been in operation from 2005, and is now most popular instrument of Subaru. A LGS AO system at Nasmyth focus (AO188) had the first light in 2006. HiCIAO; near IR high dynamic range coronagraph instrument working with AO188 for exoplanet detection had recently the first light. FMOS; fiber multi-object spectrograph with 400 fibers is now in commissioning phase. Hyper Suprime- Cam with 1.5 degree FOV at the prime focus is now being developed and will be in operation in 2012.
