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…

Final Design and On-Sky Testing of the iLocater SX Acquisition Camera: Broadband Single-Mode Fiber Coupling

Jonathan Crass, Andrew Bechter, Brian Sands +22

Enabling efficient injection of light into single-mode fibers (SMFs) is a key requirement in realizing diffraction-limited astronomical spectroscopy on ground-based telescopes. SMF…

iLocater: A Diffraction-limited Doppler Spectrometer for the Large Binocular Telescope

Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, David King +31

We are developing a stable and precise spectrograph for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) named "iLocater." The instrument comprises three principal components: a cross-dispersed…

On-sky single-mode fiber coupling measurements at the Large Binocular Telescope

Andrew Bechter, Jonathan Crass, Ryan Ketterer +12

The demonstration of efficient single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling is a key requirement for the development of a compact, ultra-precise radial velocity (RV) spectrograph. iLocater is…

Design of the iLocater Acquisition Camera Demonstration System

Andrew Bechter, Jonathan Crass, Ryan Ketterer +7

Existing planet-finding spectrometers are limited by systematic errors that result from their seeing-limited design. Of particular concern is the use of multi-mode fibers (MMFs), w…
