Laboratory characterization of iLocater
Marcelo Tala Pinto, Marshall C. Johnson, Julia Brady +18
The paper describes laboratory tests of the iLocater near‑infrared, diffraction‑limited, fiber‑fed spectrograph for the Large Binocular Telescope, covering detector alignment, LED…
Fiber modal noise mitigation by a rotating double scrambler
Gert Raskin, Jacob Pember, Dmytro Rogozin +2
Fiber modal noise is a performance limiting factor in high-resolution spectroscopy, both with respect to achieving high signal-to-noise ratios or when targeting high-precision radi…
MARVEL, a four-telescope array for high-precision radial-velocity monitoring
Gert Raskin, Christian Schwab, Bart Vandenbussche +23
Since the first discovery of a planet outside of our Solar System in 1995, exoplanet research has shifted from detecting to characterizing worlds around other stars. The TESS (NASA…
The Calibration System of the iLocater Spectrograph
Sai Vidyud Senthil Nathan, Jonathan Crass, Julia E. Brady +21
The paper describes the design and implementation of the calibration system for iLocater, a new near‑infrared extreme‑precision radial‑velocity spectrograph on the Large Binocular…
Commissioning and on-sky performance verification of iLocater
Marshall C. Johnson, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jonathan Crass +59
The paper describes the commissioning and first on‑sky performance of iLocater, a high‑resolution near‑infrared spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope, demonstrating its abi…
