Abstract
After successful commissioning observations in 2014, Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) has been conducting its normal scientific operations on the 2.7m Harlan J. Smith telescope at the McDonald Observatory and has been producing high spectral resolution near-infrared spectroscopic data in excellent quality. We will present the current status of the instrument and its software packages, and highlight initial scientific results. In particular, we will discuss possibilities of having IGRINS on larger telescopes.
