AbstractIntegral field spectroscopy provides us with immensely rich datasets about spatially resolved distributions and kinematics of emission and absorption lines. In this contribution I will describe some of the key insights that have been made about AGN using optical, near infrared, and far infrared IFUs. These encompass gas inflow and outflow mechanisms, and the relations between star formation, the torus, and accretion onto the black hole. Progress so far has largely relied on archetypal and small sets of objects. In the future, a more statistically robust approach will be required. I will end by discussing a number of issues that can easily confuse an emerging picture, and need to be borne in mind for such surveys.

AbstractIntegral field spectroscopy of nearby supernova sites within ~30 Mpc have been obtained using multiple IFU spectrographs in Hawaii and Chile. This technique enables both spatial and spectral information of the explosion sites to be acquired simultaneously, thus providing the identification of the parent stellar population of the supernova progenitor and the estimates for its physical parameters including age and metallicity via the spectrum. While this work has mainly been done in the optical wavelengths using instruments such as VIMOS, GMOS, and MUSE, a near-infrared approach has also been carried out using the AO-assisted SINFONI. By studying the supernova parent stellar population, we aim to characterize the mass and metallicity of the progenitors of different types of supernovae.

AbstractTransiting exoplanets provide a unique opportunity for follow up exploration through phase-differential observation of their emission and transmission spectra. From such spectra immediate clues about the atmospheric composition and the planets chemistry can be drawn. Such information is of imminent importance for the theory of the formation of planets in general as well as for their particular evolution. Ground-based spectroscopy of exoplanet transits is a needful extension of results already obtained through space-based observations. We present results of an exploratory study to use near-infrared integral field spectroscopy to observe extrasolar planets. We demonstrate how adaptive optics-assisted integral field spectroscopy compares with other spectroscopic techniques currently applied. An advanced reduction method using elements of a spectral-differential decorrelation method is also discussed. We have tested our concept with a K-Band time series observations of HD209458b and HD189733b obtained with SINFONI at the VLT and OSIRIS at Keck during secondary transits at a spectral resolution of R=3000.
