Laboratory characterization of iLocater

Marcelo Tala Pinto, Marshall C. Johnson, Julia Brady +18

iLocater is a diffraction-limited, fiber-fed spectrograph designed for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), which targets high-precision radial velocity measurements in the near-in…

Commissioning and on-sky performance verification of iLocater

Marshall C. Johnson, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jonathan Crass +59

iLocater is a high-resolution near-infrared extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrograph that was deployed to the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in June 2026. iLocater op…

Resolving the Young 2 Cygni Run-away Star into a Binary using iLocater

Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, Andrew J. Bechter +30

Precision radial velocity (RV) spectrographs that use adaptive optics (AO) show promise to advance telescope observing capabilities beyond those of seeing-limited designs. We are b…

Studying the Impact of Optical Aberrations on Diffraction-Limited Radial Velocity Instruments

Eric B. Bechter, Andrew J. Bechter, Justin R. Crepp +1

Spectrographs nominally contain a degree of quasi-static optical aberrations resulting from the quality of manufactured component surfaces, imperfect alignment, design residuals, t…
