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…

Performance of the Nonlinear Curvature Wavefront Sensor as a Function of Scintillation Strength

Stanimir Letchev, Justin R. Crepp, Caleb G. Abbott +3

Local amplitude aberrations caused by scintillation can impact the reconstruction process of a wavefront sensor (WFS) by inducing a spatially non-uniform intensity at the pupil pla…

The iLocater cryostat and thermal control system: enabling extremely precise radial velocity measurements for diffraction-limited spectrographs

Jonathan Crass, Nandini Sadagopan, Matthew Misch +10

Extremely precise radial velocity (EPRV) measurements are critical for characterizing nearby terrestrial worlds. EPRV instrument precisions of $σ_{\mathrm{RV}} = 1-10\,\mathrm{cm/s…

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…
