A Versatile Technique to Enable sub-milli-Kelvin Instrument Stability for Precise Radial Velocity Measurements: Tests with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder

Gudmundur Stefansson, Frederick Hearty, Paul Robertson +13

Insufficient instrument thermo-mechanical stability is one of the many roadblocks for achieving 10cm/s Doppler radial velocity (RV) precision, the precision needed to detect Earth-…

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…

The iLocater cryostat: design and thermal control strategy for precision radial velocity measurements

Jonathan Crass, Louis G. Fantano, Frederick R. Hearty +8

The current generation of precision radial velocity (RV) spectrographs are seeing-limited instruments. In order to achieve high spectral resolution on 8m class telescopes, these sp…

Cosmic variance in [O/Fe] in the Galactic disk

S. Bertran de Lis, C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski +11

We examine the distribution of the [O/Fe] abundance ratio in stars across the Galactic disk using H-band spectra from the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). We mi…

Companions to APOGEE Stars I: A Milky Way-Spanning Catalog of Stellar and Substellar Companion Candidates and their Diverse Hosts

Nicholas W. Troup, David L. Nidever, Nathan De Lee +24

In its three years of operation, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-1) observed 14,000 stars with enough epoc…
