摘要：

We present the main characteristics and astronomical results of SWIRCAM, a NDR imager-spectrometer mainly devoted to the search for extragalactic Supernovae, in the frame of the SWIRT project, a joint scientific collaboration among the Astronomical Observatories of Rome (Italy), Teramo (Italy) and Pulkovo (St. Petersburg, RUSSIA). The camera is currently at the focal plane of the AZT-24 1.1 m telescope at the Observing Station of Campo Imperatore (AQ, Italy), operated by the Astronomical Observatory of Rome. SWIRCAM saw its first light during December 1998 and it is currently employed for both the SWIRT operative phase and other institutional projects.
