Description

The Wide-field INfrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new telescope nearing completion at Palomar Observatory. WINTER will survey the sky at near-infrared wavelengths, and also conduct a broad multi-messenger Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) program searching for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves and neutrinos. I will give an update on the status of WINTER development, highlight the new data reduction pipeline, and outline the scientific results expected from next year.
