The main science driver for the instrument is planet finding and characterization. Since the very good sensitivity of the LBT AO system allows to use very faint stars for the WFS, other science cases are possible as well. This includes the study of the morphological properties of jets and disks around stars or the characterization of AGN and of the brightest quasars in our galaxy.[[BR]][[BR]]The instrument consortium is composed of INAF, MPIA and Steward Observatory. SHARK-NIR has been approved for construction in July 2017, and a status update of the instrument, which is now entering the AIV phase, will be given.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2018S1/2018-06-08_SHARK_NIR.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English ||
