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…
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…
